Hi Sami,


Your suggestion in https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/106511 <https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/106511> works 
properly during my test.
[SAMI] Thank you for trying this out and confirming. 

But I think we still need to keep the `+ &RngGuid, ` change below 
as a bug fix?
[SAMI] You are right &RngGuid is required. But I think it should be addressed as part of patch 6/8 as that is where the change was initially introduced.
I think in my suggestion the code fixes this issue. If not, then this needs to be addressed in patch 6/8.
[/SAMI]

Regards,

Sami Mujawar

Thanks,
Kun
