The ValidateFvHeader() function checks several conditions against the
firmware volume header. Failure of the first of these checks, reported as
"No Firmware Volume header present", is a common situation for unformatted
flash images, especially when a new virtual machine is created.
Similarly, "Variable Store Guid non-compatible" is common when the
firmware binary is switched from Secure Boot-incapable to Secure
Boot-capable, or vice versa.
The only caller of ValidateFvHeader(), NorFlashFvbInitialize(), handles
all these mismatches by installing a new FVB header. It also emits
another, loud ERROR message (which is even less justified when it is
triggered by (BootMode == BOOT_WITH_DEFAULT_SETTINGS)).
Downgrade these messages from EFI_D_ERROR to EFI_D_INFO, so that they
don't clutter the debug output when the PcdDebugPrintErrorLevel mask only
enables EFI_D_ERROR (i.e., in a "silent" build).
These messages have annoyed / confused users; see for example:

The NorFlashDxe uses an explicit 'BEFORE xxx' Depex declaration to
ensure that it is dispatched before VariableRuntimeDxe, and uses the
file GUID of the latter as 'xxx' explicitly to accomplish that.
However, when enabling UEFI Secure Boot, this breaks down since the
authenticated VariableRuntimeDxe is a completely separate driver, with
a different GUID. Also, the hardcoded dependency on gEfiVariableGuid,
which is not used under UEFI Secure Boot, needs to be factored out in
order to allow this driver to be used.
So clone NorFlashDxe.inf into NorFlashAuthenticatedDxe.inf, and fix
up the dependencies so they refer to gEfiAuthenticatedVariableGuid and
SecurityPkg/VariableAuthenticated/RuntimeDxe/VariableRuntimeDxe.inf
instead.

FVB (for instance for UEFI Variable) might not be at the
start of the NOR Flash. 'Lba' needs to be fixed up for it.

This improves performance by accessing NOR with the fine granularity that
the hardware permits, rather than the coarse granularity assumed by DiskIoDxe.

- Don't write back buffers containing no data after an erase.
- Reduce number of NOR erases when writing data. Only erase the block
when required.

CFI Flash differentiates DeviceBaseAddress with BlockAddress in
its protocol. The DeviceBaseAddress was not considered in the
previous version of this driver.
This version also fixes some bugs in the implementation of the
CFI protocol.
This new version also uses the Boot Mode Hob to reinitialized the
FVB when Boot Mode is equal to BOOT_WITH_DEFAULT_SETTINGS.

This NOR Flash driver can be reused for other platform (eg: ARM Realview EB).
To make this driver reusable on other platforms the NorFlashPlatformLib library
has been created to abstract the platform specific bits such as the pre-requirements
steps to the initialization and the geometry of the NOR Flash regions.
