Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v1 1/1] Bug 2861 - HiiDatabaseDxe, ConfigRouting.c, GetElementsFromRequest incorrect error handling.

["Charles Hyde" <chip.programmer@att.net>]

How many different patches are you looking for?

One patch to fix bug 2861 specifically, and a separate patch that fixes the 
uninitialized pointer issue?  I provided the second previously (June and 
July 2023), and literally nobody commented in edk2-rfc or edk2-devel.

Thanks for analyzing and fixing these bugs.

Can you please split the separate fixes to separate patches?

Also, the patch looks garbled; it shouldn't be attached / pasted but
sent with git-send-email. Are you familiar with git-send-email?

Here's the official docs:

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Development-Process

and some unofficial tips:

Third, I suggest not to comment out, with /* */, dead code (such as a
subcondition that always evaluates to false or true); instead, remove
it, and explain in the commit message (or, if necessary, in a code
comment) why that condition is a tautology. If the condition or argument
is nontrivial, consider using an ASSERT().
