I'm not sure if the CI will complain in this case, but it doesn't allow 
multiple variable definitions in a line. And with the change I suggested, 
this will now likely trigger a CI failure (you can check by submitting a 
pull request to the EDK2 project, which will run the CI but not actually 
commit anything, and seeing if you encounter any issues).

You'll have to re-align the arguments under the lower-case "m" now.

Remove the blank line here.

These arguments need to be aligned under the lower case "m", too.

Thanks,
