For the functionality, it is the same with before for platforms which set PcdPropertiesTableEnable to false by default.
Reviewed-by: Dandan Bi <dandan.bi at intel.com> for patch [PATCH 2/4] [PATCH 3/4] [PATCH 4/4].
If anyone still has the use case of enabling PcdPropertiesTableEnable, please comment.
Thanks,
Dandan
