Exactly. You're correct, my comment was imprecise. But the fact that 29 locations use the same default HII vendor device patch definition suggests that there would be value in having a centralised default to refer to. I raised https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1388 Actually, I found there are 3 more in edk2-platforms :) https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1389 Regards, Leif > > Thanks > Liming > > -----Original Message----- > > From: edk2-devel [mailto:edk2-devel-boun...@lists.01.org] On Behalf Of Leif > > Lindholm > > Sent: Monday, December 10, 2018 8:26 PM > > To: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheu...@linaro.org> > > Cc: Wu, Hao A <hao.a...@intel.com>;
