Re: [PATCH v4 0/6] Extend Last Attempt Status Usage

["Michael Kubacki" <michael.kubacki@outlook.com>]

Hi all,

It's been about two weeks since this email and I still haven't seen any 
feedback on v4.

I made a very small update that resulted in a v5 series today:
https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/66287

If you could please provide timely feedback on v5 it would be appreciated.

Also, there's an issue building FmpDevicePkg at the moment that you'll 
need this patch to fix:
https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/66286

That patch needs review as well.

Thanks,
Michael
