There is not a SmmAccess PEIM in IntelSiliconPkg.
There is a SmmAccessDxe driver:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/blob/master/Silicon/Intel/IntelSiliconPkg/Feature/SmmAccess/SmmAccessDxe/SmmAccess.inf
And there is a PeiSmmAccessLib:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/tree/master/Silicon/Intel/IntelSiliconPkg/Feature/SmmAccess
As long as this is a library class, the NULL library instance is
necessary for the same reason many NULL instances are necessary.
Scenario #1:
If a user has a library that depends on SmmAccessLib and that library is
linked to two different modules, the user may wish to actually call the
install function from one module and not link the functionality (or
inherit the non-NULL SmmAccessLib dependencies) in the other module.
Scenario #2:
Someone is trying to build common code. That common code has a PEIM.
That PEIM links SmmAccessLib. A downstream package leveraging that PEIM
does not use the functionality in the PEIM that invokes SmmAccessLib.
Therefore, the package would like to reduce the overall PEIM
dependencies by linking a NULL library instance.
---
This is the result of an invoke-once interface being exposed as a
generic library class.
---
This patch is not trying to modify interfaces such as converting the
library class to a driver or anything more involved/impactful. It is
simply making the design already in place have an alternative, optional
instance available for platform integration.
Thanks

Michael,
If your platform doesn't need SmmAccessPPI, you don't put the SmmAccess PEIM in
the FDF.
Why do you need:
1. Put SmmAccess PEIM in FDF
2. Let SmmAccess PEIM link to a NULL dummy-do-nothing library
I feel the additional abstraction is not necessary.
Thanks,
Ray
