Thanks for the answers. From Liming's answer, I understand we don't try
to keep CI strictly in sync with edk2's (internal) BaseTools.

So the patch should be fine; however, I think the subject line could be
clarified. "BaseTools: Update the NASM dependency" doesn't make it clear
that the CI builds are targeted primarily.

Thanks
