Re: [edk2-devel] [edk2 0/3] v2 RISC-V SBI-backed SerialLib

["Andrei Warkentin" <andrei.warkentin@intel.com>]

Hi Sunil,

Thanks for the feedback.

I had run SetupGit, and CheckPatch doesn't find any CR/LF issues. Are you seeing this in the email or up on  https://github.com/andreiw/edk2-rv-wip/tree/patchset-2?

Is it possible this is getting mangled by the mail server? I do have "transferEncoding = 8bit" set.

Hi Andrei,

Here are some quick comments.

1) Please run python BaseTools/Scripts/SetupGit.py -n edk2 in your clone always.

2) Please run BaseTools/Scripts/PatchCheck.py on each patch/commit and fix the errors.

for ex: I see many CRLF errors

* Line ending ('\n') is not CRLF
   File: OvmfPkg/RiscVVirt/Sec/SecMain.c


3)Since these are new INF files, it should have INF_VERSION as 1.27
(0x0001001B)

https://tianocore-docs.github.io/edk2-InfSpecification/release-1.27/2_inf_overview/24_[defines]_section.html#24-defines-section

4) GUID should be unique for different libraries.

5) MODULE_TYPE should not be BASE but something like SEC|PEI. BASE will include DXE also. Similarly, DXE library should exclude SEC/PEI.

6) Legacy extensions can be deprecated. So, I think it is better to probe both DBCN and legacy extension and then only use it.

Will review in detail some time next week.

Thanks,
Sunil
