Subject: [EXTERNAL] [PATCH] RedfishPkg/RedfishPlatformConfigDxe: fix value type issue.


**CAUTION: The e-mail below is from an external source. Please exercise caution before opening attachments, clicking links, or following guidance.**

Fix incorrect value type issue for checked-box op-code.
When the variable for checked-box is defined as UINT8 in
varstore structure, IFR compiler assign its value type to
EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_8 instead of EFI_IFR_TYPE_BOOLEAN.
However, the value type for checked-box is boolean value.
Redfish service may return error because of incorrect value
type passed to BIOS attribute registry.
