Re: Reusing DXE driver code in edk2 packages

["Gao, Liming" <liming.gao@intel.com>]

Tom:
  Your request is to combine two drivers into one. This is not supported in BaseTools. Now, you have to copy the cod logic from TimestampDxe to your UEFI driver to install gEfiTimestampProtocolGuid.

  If you want to this support, you can specify this request in https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/ 

Thanks
