Hi, Pollack

I don't agree with the opinion that the Snp.Mode can't be accessed before 
Snp->Initialize() is called. According to UEFI spec, all the fields in Snp.Mode 
structure must be discovered during driver initialization, per my understanding 
the words "driver initialization" mean the driver binding start function, not 
Snp->Initialize() interface. And in EDKII implementation, all these parameters 
in Snp.Mode are prepared by calling PXE_OPCODE_GET_INIT_INFO in 
SimpleNetworkDriverStart() function before SNP protocol is installed into the 
protocol database, so they are valid to use once SNP protocol is produced.

Fu, Siyuan
Best regards

Subject: [edk2] [PATCH 02/10] MdeModulePkg//ArpDxe: Retrieved SnpMode only 
after configuring Snp

From: Olivier Martin <olivier.mar...@arm.com>

When Arp driver starts (with ArpDriverBindingStart()), its service will be 
created and the Mnp child configured (ArpService->Mnp->Configure() called in 
ArpCreateService()).

It is only at this time the Snp protocol will be initialized (at the end of 
MnpStart()).
So, a valid SnpMode could not be expected prior to ArpService->Mnp->Configure().
