Thanks Laszlo,

I will wait for the maintainers to accept the patch, then submit an amended version for ArmVirtQemu.

If you can order the edk2-platforms changes safely after the edk2 DEC file change, then yes.

Otherwise, I can't say.

AFAICT, edk2-platforms does not consume edk2 via a git submodule, so the ordering looks risky. But I generally don't follow edk2-platforms (which is also why I didn't grep its DSC files for the PCD in question), so I really don't know how such ordering questions have been dealt with in the past.

Thanks
Laszlo
