does the original issue (reported in TianoCore#2721) persist with
TianoCore#2054 fixed?

My understanding (from TianoCore#2721) is that the original
AsciiStrCpyS() call is not buggy, it just triggers a (per spec) error
condition in AsciiStrCpyS(). Previously, that would indeed trip an
ASSERT(), but AIUI that issue has been resolved generally with
TianoCore#2054.

If the AsciiStrCpyS() call remains an issue with the ASSERT() removed,
then replacing the call with AsciiStrnCpyS() still seems like a bugfix
to me, not a "feature", so I think the patch is eligible for merging
during the HFF.

Mike, can you please merge the patch (if it's still needed)?

Thanks
Laszlo
