I don't have much experience with edk2-platforms. If I recall correctly, the edk2 series is supposed to be merged in two parts, between which edk2-platforms is supposed to be updated (meaning various edk2-platform patches and an edk2 submodule update). In other words, if there is a way to lay out the edk2 and edk2-platforms patches as one grand series, then that order should be followed with the merges.

In your v14 blurb, you can perhaps identify this split point (if there is one), plus the edk2-platforms series that should be merged there, in the middle.

Thanks

[Liming] First, please send the patches to edk2-platform tree, and make sure they pass review also. The merge process is just Laszlo propose. The first 10 patches in Edk2 will be merged first, then edk2-platforms changes will be merged, last the remaining changes in Edk2 will be merged. After your patches are ready for merge, I can help merge them in edk2 and edk2-platforms.

Thanks
Liming
