I am little bit confused here, please confirm
I have to copy =E2=80=9CArmPlatformPkg/Drivers/NorFlashDxe=E2=80=9D to
edk2-platforms/Platform/ARM/Drivers first and then rip out the block
i/o
and disk i/o parts to get StandaloneNorFlash driver? And retain
=E2=80=9CArmPlatformPkg/Drivers/NorFlashDxe=E2=80=9D as it is ?

thanks
