Hi Liming, Hao, and all

Now we're checking the SCT runtime variable service test case. 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-test/blob/92a0343c1553342c53fae9d9d646b763add232c0/uefi-sct/SctPkg/TestCase/UEFI/EFI/RuntimeServices/VariableServices/BlackBoxTest/VariableServicesBBTestConformance.c#L3401
 and have a question below.

Is there any use case to call the runtime variable service functions with the 
Attributes that only has EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE set?

We checked UEFI spec, documents, and current EDK2 implementation. There is no 
specific description or any implementation for this. However, there seems an 
implication that EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE must be set with at least 
EFI_VARIABLE_BOOTSERVICE_ACCESS.  Actually, it looks like making NO sense to 
have a variable attribute combination that doesn't have any XXXXX_ACCESS 
attribute (BS, RT, or AT) set.

Therefore, we think only having EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE set may be an invalid 
case and would like to add a check into the EDK2 variable driver to return 
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER.  What do you guys think?

Best Regards,
Sunny
