[edk2-devel] [PATCH 2/3] MdeModulePkg/PartitionDxe: Remove the check for special MBR

[Gao, Zhichao]

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2823

Follow the spec definition, the ISO 9660 (and UDF) would be
checked before the MBR. So it is not required to skip such
MBR talbe that contian the entire block device.
