Re: [PATCH 0/4] Add a pcd PcdBootManagerInBootOrder to control whether BootManager is in BootOrder

["Gao, Zhichao" <zhichao.gao@intel.com>]

Sorry to miss the first question. I used to send a patch to the community to merge my change and the changes from Mu.
And Leif suggests to separate them. That would distinguish the contributor when encounter copyright issue. And also make a history of it.
Here is the message link: https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/41834.

Thanks,
Zhichao
