Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH 1/2] MdeModulePkg/dec: update the PcdCpuStackGuard property

["Ni, Ray" <ray.ni@intel.com>]

FixedAtBuild PCD can be accessed at any time from any CPU.
But dynamic PCD can only be accessed from BSP and after PCD database is initialized.

This impact of this change is not as simple as what the patch does.

Why cannot FSP API and Dispatch mode use the same setting? (either enabled or disabled)

Thanks,
Ray
