Thanks for updating the patch.

The patch looks correct. This is what I stumbled upon looking at the
rest of the runtime chapter:

The 'Runtime Variable Access' sub-chapter mentions only SetVariable() as
optional while the table above it specifies all variable services as
optional. Could we start the sub-chapter with a sentence

  "All variable services at runtime are optional."

to avoid misunderstandings.

The `RuntimeServicesSupported` value flag in the
`EFI_RT_PROPERTIES_TABLE` should be set correctly for all runtime
services. Mentioning this requirement specifically for SetVariable()
might be misleading.

There is a capitalization typo in the chapter:

%s/e.g., If/E.g., if/
