The UefiShell*CommandsLib instances have constructor functions that do
something like:
gHiiHandle = HiiAddPackages (...);
...
ShellCommandRegisterCommandName (..., gHiiHandle, ...);
and destructor functions that implement the following pattern:
HiiRemovePackages (gHiiHandle);
The -- semantic, not functional -- problem is that "gHiiHandle" is
declared with type EFI_HANDLE, and not EFI_HII_HANDLE, in all of these
library instances, even though HiiAddPackages() correctly returns
EFI_HII_HANDLE, and HiiRemovePackages() takes EFI_HII_HANDLE.
Once we fix the type of "gHiiHandle", it causes sort of a butterfly
effect, because it is passed around widely. Track down and update all of
those locations.
The DynamicCommand lib instances use a similar pattern, so they are
affected too.
NOTE: in practice, this patch is a no-op, as both EFI_HII_HANDLE and
EFI_HANDLE are typedefs to (VOID*). However, we shouldn't use EFI_HANDLE
where semantically EFI_HII_HANDLE is passed around.
