Re: 回复: [edk2-devel] [PATCH 0/3] MdePkg: fix typos in SmBios.h

["Sean" <spbrogan@outlook.com>]

As a downstream consumer and maintainer I strongly support correcting 
these fields.

If a platform dev model can't handle this type of breaking change then 
this project is paralyzed and bigger things should be addressed.

Thanks
Sean
