[SAMI] I have not been following the convention to add Cc lines to the 
patches. However, I will start from the next patch series.

[SAMI] I have added this so that I can easily search my patches. It does 
not affect the patch though.

[SAMI] I have tried building PrmPkg with VS2019 and found that the 
AARCH64 builds do not work.

         "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.28.29910\bin\Hostx86\arm64\armasm64.exe"

Stop.

Can you please let me know if this is a configuration/environment issue 
or the AARCH64 assembly files need to be ported for Visual Studio?

I have tried building other Arm packages and though the assembler files 
need porting, which I believe has been done as part of ProjectMu 
(https://github.com/microsoft/mu_silicon_arm_tiano).

It would be good to have AARCH64 builds of edk2 with Visual Studio as 
this would allow to use the VS static analysis tool.

Can you let me know if you have any plans to enable this support in 
Tianocore\edk2 project, please?
