This seems like a bad design to require the ipmi interface type at such a high level in the code tree.  UEFI provides plenty protocol and library abstractions for IPMI so I would really prefer not to leak this type of information into a PCD defined in MdePkg.  Happy to discuss IPMI support and I would really like to see edk2, edk2-platforms/Features/ManageabilityPkg at master · tianocore/edk2-platforms (github.com) <https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/tree/master/Features/ManageabilityPkg>, microsoft/mu_feature_ipmi: Project Mu - Feature Repo- Firmware support for IPMI (github.com) <https://github.com/microsoft/mu_feature_ipmi>, and commercial vendors find some sort of alignment going forward as no one wins with the mess that is in the industry now.

Thanks

Sean
