These patches

  SecurityPkg/RngDxe: Correctly update mAvailableAlgoArrayCount
  SecurityPkg/RngDxe: Conditionally install EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL

Reviewed-by: Ard Biesheuvel <a...@kernel.org>

Jiewen, if you don't mind, I will merge those right away.

For the remaining patch, I am not sure I understand why the behavior
regarding the zero GUID is correct. Perhaps we could
revisit/resend/review that patch in isolation?

Thanks,
Ard.
