Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v5 1/7] MdePkg: Extend SERIAL_IO with DeviceTypeGuid

["Oleksiy Yakovlev" <oleksiyy@ami.com>]

Hi Liming.

The intention of this patch series was to add headers to MdePkg, to make it possible start working on features implementation.
Implementing all features in all affected files through all possible module was not in my intentions at all.
I agreed to change DxeCapsuleLib to speed up adoption of this series. We need this headers ASAP to start implementing those features in our own products.  So we need headers before  soft freeze.

Regards, Oleksiy.

MdeModulePkg\Universal\SerialDxe and MdeModulePkg\Bus\Pci\PciSioSerialDxe are two drivers to install SerialIo protocol with the original structure. Please see below code logic. With this patch, SERIAL_IO_INTERFACE_REVISION macro is updated to 1.1. But, this protocol doesn't set the value for new field DeviceTypeGuid. So, I want to confirm whether NULL DeviceTypeGuid is valid or not.

EFI_SERIAL_IO_PROTOCOL mSerialIoTemplate = {
  SERIAL_IO_INTERFACE_REVISION,
  SerialReset,
  SerialSetAttributes,
  SerialSetControl,
  SerialGetControl,
  SerialWrite,
  SerialRead,
  &mSerialIoMode
};
