This patch addresses an issue in the FMMT operations where the parent
reference is not checked for NoneType. This oversight can lead to an
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Name' when
attempting to access the parent reference. The fix involves adding a
check for NoneType before accessing the parent reference to ensure that
the operations handle such cases gracefully.
The affected functions include:
- AddNewFfs
- ReplaceFfs
- ExtractFfs
These functions now include proper checks to prevent the AttributeError.

The FMMT python tool is used for firmware files operation, which has
the Fv/FFs-based 'View'&'Add'&'Delete'&'Replace' operation function:
1.Parse a FD(Firmware Device) / FV(Firmware Volume) / FFS(Firmware Files)
2.Add a new FFS into a FV file (both included in a FD file or not)
3.Replace an FFS in a FV file with a new FFS file
4.Delete an FFS in a FV file (both included in a FD file or not)
5.Extract the FFS from a FV file (both included in a FD file or not)
This version of FMMT Python tool does not support PEIM rebase feature,
this feature will be added in future update.
Currently the FMMT C tool is saved in edk2-staging repo, but its
quality and coding style can't meet the Edk2 quality, which is hard to
maintain (Hard/Duplicate Code; Regression bugs; Restrict usage).
The new Python version keeps same functions with origin C version. It
has higher quality and better coding style, and it is much easier to
extend new functions and to maintain.
