Hi Laszlo,
I don't understand. When I break into UEFI shell, and run 'dh', I can see
device driver handles. This means that 'BdsConnectAllDrivers' was called and
that in turn called 'CoreConnectController'. Now the question is, if a driver
generates a child handle, 'CoreConnectController' should be called on that
child handle. From the code, I see that is only possible if protocol has not
been opened by child handle.
What do you think ?

Ah. Yes. I recall that. Actually I have a downstream hack that is
related. I'll attach it just as illustration (the other tree patches
just increase the convenience). The point is (IIRC!) that ARM BDS does
not call BdsConnectAllDrivers() before reaching the boot menu. I guess
that's probably the issue.
In my case I wanted to auto-generate a boot option (for the boot menu)
for whatever disk partition that looked like an EFI System Partition.
The disk in question that I had was a virtio-blk disk, and the patch
didn't work initially. The reason was that at that point the disk had
not been connected yet. So, IMHO you can solve this by inserting a call
to BdsConnectAllDrivers() in a strategic point. You should probably find
that point yourself; for me it was DefineDefaultBootEntries().
(Note: I haven't tested this patch in a while, but the above was
certainly the case when I last run it.)
