Re: [PATCH v1 03/11] ShellPkg: acpiview: FADT: Validate global pointer before use

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

For FadtMinorRevision and X_DsdtAddress, I don't think they are required section. Maybe we should consider check the length before check them. As I know, the OVMF's FACP table doesn't have the section after flag.

Thanks,
Zhichao
