Could I have a ping on this, as well as https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/topic/69331625#52611?

It looks to me like the latest RPi related patches have reached some kind of integration limbo, since I'm not seeing any of those being requested a v2.

Thanks,

/Pete

Some (all?) Raspbery Pi 4 platforms report 0x0000000010000000 as their
board serial when queried through the VideoCore mailbox.

Fix this by using the MAC address then.

What is the point of using a mask here? Is it deliberately matching
0x0000000020000000 or 0x00000000F0000000 as well?

My expectation is that if we're seeing 0x0000000010000000 as a board serial, there's not so insignificant chance are future boards may use 0x0000000010000000, 0x0000000030000000 and so on.

In other words, when someone starts counting from 0 to 1 somewhere, it's not unreasonable to also expect them to reach 2 at some stage...

Now, if anything, the one change we could apply here is remove the (*Serial == 0) check, which of course is redundant. But I fail to see why we'd want to restrict ourselves to checking only for 0x0000000010000000 here, when we have no clear idea how the value we read may evolve in the future, as anything that the mask condition matches is clearly not a serial we want to use anyway...

Regards,
