So it seems you are doing a number of larger changes to the openssl
code base.  What is the plan for those?

I'd prefer to not be in a situation where every openssl update needs
alot of work in our edk2-specific adaptions, especially as openssl
updates can be timing-sensitive when it comes to fixing security issues.

For changes where we only need dummy stub functions which don't do
anything is isn't a big problem.  But when changing the provider logic
to suit our needs it is probably much better to work with upstream
openssl to get the changes we need merged.

I did that in the past, worked fine.  See for example openssl commit
a28dbfe7c84b6a43746d0e2ef4153e2a13067c4a (change printf to not support
floating point for --target=UEFI).

take care,
  Gerd
