Hi Ruiyu, 

Thanks for the quick response.  
It is because of that we need to do same thing as what BmFindLoadOption 
function did in our PlatformBootManagerLib to check/find specific boot option 
from the boot options array which is got from EfiBootManagerGetLoadOptions 
function. I also think other developers may have the same need.  Therefore, it 
would be better to make BmFindLoadOption public to reduce the maintenance 
effort caused by duplicating the function into other BDS libraries like 
PlatformBootManagerLib. Is it reasonable and acceptable?  If so, I will rename 
the BmFindLoadOption function to EfiBootManagerFindLoadOption and resend the 
patch.   

Regards,
Sunny Wang

Sunny,
Why do you want to expose this function?
Bm* needs to change to EfiBootManager* if it's public.

Thanks,
Ray
