I can never remember, so I tend to go have a look at
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Specifications,
which lists the latest revisions of everything.

(I also can never remember the URL to that, so I search for 'edk2 inf
specification', which tends to give it as the first hit.)

Yes please.
It is helpful to see in each .c file which interfaces it actually
makes use of.

Of course. Thank you for confirming.
It just means this controller can only be used in 64-bit systems if it
is behind an iommu.

Yes, totally fine.

The comment referred to the body of the for loop this snippet is part
of, beginning just before it:

+  //DMA TxdescRing allocate buffer and map
+  for (int Index=0; Index < DESC_NUM; Index++) {

The whole body of this for loop is missing indentation, including the
bit you include above. I indicated the block with

  Misleading indentation from here...
  ... to here.

Best Regards,

Leif
