For this patch: Reviewed-by: Laszlo Ersek <ler...@redhat.com> I'm happy if this patch is pushed, as-is. Independently, I have found that MpInitLib, despite using several PCDs, does not list the PcdLib class in the [LibraryClasses] section, and never #include's <Library/PcdLib.h> either. (The [LibraryClasses] observation applies to both INF files, that is, PEI and DXE alike.) Things happen to work in practice because both the #include and the lib class dependency must be inherited from other headers / lib instances. But it would be prudent to spell out the PcdLib dependency, especially because some of the subject PCDs are used with the dynamic access method, in practice (for example by OvmfPkg) -- meaning that the actual PCD library APIs are exercised. Hao, can you post a followup patch for that, or do you prefer that we only enter a BZ ticket at the moment? Thanks!
