Some platforms advertise support for a 16550 UART, but are not
compatible with the PNP0500 HID. Allow them to override the HID by
setting PcdNonBsaCompliant16550SerialHid.

According to Arm Server Base Boot Requirements,
Platform Design Document version 1.2 revision D,
September 2, 2019, section '4.2.1.8 SPCR'; The
SPCR console device must be included in the DSDT.
Additionally, it is often desirable to describe the
serial ports available on a platform so that they
are available for use by a rich OS.
To facilitate the description of serial ports on a
platform a common SSDT Serial Port Fixup library is
introduced. It provides interfaces to build a SSDT
serial port definition block table based on the
serial port information.
The SSDT Serial Port Fixup library is used by the
SPCR, DBG2 and SSDT Serial Port generator to describe
the serial port information in a definition block.
+------------+ +------------+ +------------+
| SPCR Gen | | DBG2 Gen | | SERIAL Gen |

| SSDT Serial Port Fixup library |
+----------------------------------+
The SSDT Serial Port Fixup library:
- Parses the SSDT Serial Port template using the
AmlLib library to generate an AML tree.
- Updates the _UID, _HID and _CID values.
- Fixes up the Serial port base address, length
and the interrupt number in the _CRS descriptor.
- Fixes up the serial-port name.
- Serialises the AML Tree to a buffer containing
the definition block data.
The definition block data is then installed by the
corresponding table generator.

ACPI Definition blocks are implemented using AML which has
a complex grammar making run-time generation of definition
blocks difficult. Dynamic AML is a feature of Dynamic Tables
framework that provides a solution for dynamic generation of
ACPI Definition block tables.
Since, AML bytecode represents complex AML grammar, an AmlLib
library is introduced to assist parsing and traversing of the
AML bytecode at run-time.
The AmlLib library parses a definition block and represents it
as an AML tree. The AML objects, methods and data are represented
as tree nodes. Since the AML data is represented as tree nodes,
it is possible to traverse the tree, locate a node and modify the
node data. The tree can then be serialized to a buffer (that
represents the definition block). This definition block containing
the fixed-up AML code can then be installed as an ACPI Definition
Block table.
Dynamic AML introduces the following techniques:
* AML Fixup
* AML Codegen
* AML Fixup + Codegen
AML Fixup is a technique that involves compiling an ASL template
file to generate AML bytecode. This template AML bytecode can be
parsed at run-time and a fixup code can update the required fields
in the AML template.
AML Codegen employs generating small segments of AML code.
AmlLib provides a rich set of APIs to operate on AML data for AML
Fixup and Codegen.

The dynamic table factory dxe implements the dynamic table
factory protocol. It also implements the ACPI, SMBIOS and
DT table factories. The table generators register themselves
with the respective table factories and the factories are
responsible for instantiating instances of the generators
to build the firmware tables.

A Table generator is a component that implements the logic
for building a firmware table. This is typically implemented
as a library and registers itself with a table factory.
Table generators are further classified based on type of table
it generates, a namespace that signifies if the implementation
is standard or an OEM specific implementation and a table Id.
This patch introduces the definitions used for describing a
table generator.
