[edk2-devel] [PATCH] UefiPayloadPkg/BlSupportDxe: Use EfiSmbiosProtocol to install tables

How about update SmbiosDxe to detect if SMBIOS table is installed in Configuration Table in its entry point?
If it is not installed, no change to current behavior (install SmbiosProtocol on an empty SMBIOS table).
If it is installed, install SmbiosProtocol with the SMBIOS table from Configuration Table.
Thanks,
Guo
