Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH] UefiPayloadPkg/PlatformBootManager: Connect console after EndOfDxe

["Patrick Rudolph" <patrick.rudolph@9elements.com>]

Hi Sunny,
none of the other packages are doing this before EndOfDxe. And there's
no point in having trusted console as earlier as possible, as nothing
is displayed in PlatformBootManagerBeforeConsole().
Please explain your use case. I don't see one here.

Kind Regards,
Patrick Rudolph
