The device path for the child handle is traditionally derived by appending a Hardware Vendor Device Path node after the MAC() node. The VenHw() nodes in question consist of a GUID (by definition), and no trailing data (by choice). The purpose of these VenHw() nodes is only that all the child nodes can be uniquely identified by device path.
Can the device path for the child nodes be omitted? (Equivalently: is it meaningful to look up one of these nodes by device path, given that the VenHw portion has no real meaning?)
I will believe an answer of "nobody knows; HII is so badly defined that it's impossible to tell". :)
