It is a copy paste bug (EDK to edk2) in the coding standard document.
VOLATILE is not defined as an EFI type in the UEFI spec (2.3.1 Data Types). The
edk2 MdePkg cleaned up definitions to match the UEFI spec, as there were things
in the EDK that did not match the spec, and in some cases typos, and all these
got changed. So VOLATILE was not in the UEFI spec so it got removed.
Thanks,
Andrew Fish
