Guo Mang,

A platform in the edk2-platforms repository should not contain
the packages from the edk2 repository.

Instead, the instructions for the platform should require both
the edk2 repo and the edk2-platform repo to be cloned with the
correct branches checked out and PACKAGES_PATH set so the build 
tools can use packages from both branches.

This maximizes the reuse of the code from the edk2 repo and 
minimizes the amount of code in a platform branch in edk2-platforms.

Also, the branch name does not follow the naming convention.  Please
see: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/blob/about/Readme.md

Thanks,

Mike
