Hi all,

I am developing a UEFI_DRIVER for a custom PCIe device.  I've followed
the UEFI Driver Model, and implemented the Driver Binding, Component
Name, and Component Name 2 protocols for my driver.  I'm trying to
retrieve the Controller Name from this driver in a UEFI_APPLICATION, but
I've run into an issue.

In the driver's Start() function, I open the EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL on
ControllerHandle using the following:

Status = gBS->OpenProtocol (
            ControllerHandle,
            &gEfiPciIoProtocolGuid,
            (VOID **)&PciIoProtocol,
            This->DriverBindingHandle,
            ControllerHandle,
            EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_DRIVER
	);

And leave it open when Start() exits, unless some other part of the
Start() function fails, which doesn't appear to be happening based on my
debug messages.

Following some of the examples in edk2, in my Component Name's
GetControllerName() function, I used EfiTestManagedDevice() to check
that the ControllerHandle opened EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL:

Status = EfiTestManagedDevice (
            ControllerHandle,
            g<devicename>DriverBinding.DriverBindingHandle,
            &gEfiPciIoProtocolGuid
	);

Finally, to get the Controller Name in the application, I first get a
buffer of handles that publish the ComponentName2 protocol, then walk
through each and call GetControllerName().

However, the EfiTestManagedDevice() check in my driver is returning
EFI_UNSUPPORTED, indicating the protocol is not supported on the handle.
 Furthermore, after using "load <drivername>.efi" from the shell,
openinfo on the handle returns:

Handle 188 (6E16A798)
ComponentName2
ComponentName
DriverBinding
  Drv[01] Ctrl[ ] Cnt(200) HandProt  Image(<null string>)
ImageDevicePath
  Drv[187] Ctrl[ ] Cnt(01) GetProt  Image(<null string>)
LoadedImage
  Drv[01] Ctrl[ ] Cnt(09) HandProt  Image(<null string>)

I feel like maybe I'm missing a step here.  Should I see PciIo in
openinfo?  Do I need to open a "child" instance of the ControllerHandle
in my application to get EfiTestManagedDevice() to pass?  I'm not sure
if that's the right terminology, I'm having a little difficulty
understanding the "child" concept in this context.  Any tips appreciated.
