Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 1/8] MdeModulePkg: Add Variable Flash Info HOB

["Guo Dong" <guo.dong@intel.com>]

Does the range (NvStorageBaseAddress, NvStorageLength) includes FTW spare range and FTW working range?
If not, maybe rename them as  (NvVariableBaseAddress, NvVariableLength) to make it clear.

For these 3 ranges, are there any other requirements (e.g. base address must be 4KB aligned, or FtwSpaceLength >= NvVariablelength)?
If yes, had better add to this interface file to make the HOB producer easy to build the HOB.

Thanks,
Guo

Subject: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 1/8] MdeModulePkg: Add Variable Flash Info HOB

From: Michael Kubacki <michael.kubacki@microsoft.com>

REF:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3479

Adds a new GUID that is used to identify a HOB that passes variable flash information to UEFI variable drivers in HOB consumption phases such as DXE, Traditional MM, and Standalone MM.

This information was previously passed directly with PCDs such as EfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase
and gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageVariableSize.

However, the Standalone MM variable driver instance does not have direct access to the PCD database. Therefore, this HOB will first be considered as the source for variable flash information and if platforms do not produce the HOB, reading the information from the PCDs directly will be a backup to provide backward compatibility.
