Re: [PATCH v3 0/2] Provide UEFILib functions for protocol uninstallation.

["Kinney, Michael D" <michael.d.kinney@intel.com>]

Ashish,

When I do full platform builds and individual driver
builds, the result is always a little bigger with the
V3 version of the patch.

                           	 DEBUG  DEBUG+Patch  Delta  RELEASE	RELEASE+Patch  Delta
                           	 *****  ***********  *****  *******	*************  *****
Quark IA32 FVMAIN            2337360      2339408   2048  1181168        1182992   1824

I recommend the install APIs remain unchanged, and the
uninstall APIs use the same logic as the install APIs.

Best regards,

Mike
