Yes, we have been wanting to upstream our ARM VS2022 build support,
including the nasm files, but we also weren't sure what the upstream
appetite was. I will help coordinate that from our side.

License-wise, we use the same BSD-2-Clause-Patent license as edk2
so there should be no issue.

I'll deal with any changes with the latest edk2 codebase, we are
updated to the edk2-stable202405 tag, so the delta shouldn't
be huge.

Thanks,
Oliver
