[edk2-devel] [PATCH] IntelSiliconPkg/Library:Add BaseConfigBlockLib Library

When a API needs enough buffer prepared by caller, there are two styles of APIs:
1. Status FillBuffer (VOID *Buffer, UINTN BufferSize)
BufferSize is passed by value so the API has no way to return back the required size.
It's ok as long as the caller is able to calculate the proper size based on context.
2. Status FillBuffer (VOID *Buffer, UINTN &BufferSize)
BufferSize is passed by pointer so the API can return back the required size.
In this case, if API cannot return back the buffer size back to caller, but caller is able
to calculate the size before calling the API, it follows the style #1 which is still ok.
In general, we cannot design a API to use debug messages tell caller the buffer size.
Thanks,
Ray
