Re: [edk2-staging][PATCH v2] BaseTools/Fmmt: Fix found the next FFS issue

["Ni, Ray" <ray.ni@intel.com>]

Yunhua,
I understand that if the ffs size 0 should be specially handled because
otherwise the for-loop will be infinite.

But why do you need to check the size against 0xFFFFFF?

Why the break condition in for-loop " (*Key + sizeof (*fhdr)) < fvSize;" cannot
help when the fsize is too big such as 0xFFFFFF?

I suggest you explain what issue you want to fix and how this fixes the issue in
commit message in detail.

Thanks,
Ray
