NVME DXE Driver and PATA SS

[david moheban <moheban79@gmail.com>]

Its been reported by various hardware modding enthusiasts that when they insert the Nvme edk2 driver into an Asus Ami based bios rom (could be other vendors as well) that after its insertion the system will say there is a 'PATA SS' device present in the boot menu however after Windows has been installed onto the NVME Drive the 'Windows boot Manager' shows up in the boot menu as well. So the PATA SS descripter maybe a misidentification of the device type??
