Hi,

It seems that this patch has been left unattended.

The empty string "" may be ambiguous, as it could imply that the string is valid but contains no characters, or it has not been filled. On Ampere platforms, I utilize "Not Set" to avoid this confusion, which is effective for FWTS.

Regards,
Nhi

Subject: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v1 0/1] ArmPkg/Smbios: Changing default uni values to ""
 
Current default values in uni files are set to "Not Specified". This
value causes errors in DMI tables when running FWTS tests. To avoid
these errors and align more closely with the SMBIOS spec, the default
value is changed from "Not Specified" to empty string "".
