From the way that your patch uses SMBIOS data, I'm assuming that your
use case involves a pre-existing SMBIOS table structure that is
constructed by something (e.g. coreboot) before UEFI starts up, and that
you want to extract information from this table.
If this assumption is correct, then the use case looks similar to the
way that OvmfPkg handles a pre-existing SMBIOS table constructed by the
hypervisor: the binary table is minimally parsed and all structures are
handed over to UEFI via EFI_SMBIOS_PROTOCOL.Add(). This means that all
structures from the pre-existing SMBIOS table are available to any UEFI
SMBIOS consumers.
See, for example OvmfPkg/SmbiosPlatformDxe/SmbiosPlatformDxe.c.
HTH,
Michael
