# This library instance uses the PCD_PROTOCOL to handle dynamic PCD request and use
# EFI_PCD_PROTOCOL to handle dynamicEx type PCD.
#
+# Note: A driver of type DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER and DXE_SMM_DRIVER can only use this DxePcdLib
+# in their initialization without any issues to access Dynamic and DynamicEx PCD. They can't
+# access Dynamic and DynamicEx PCD in the implementation of runtime services and SMI handlers.
+# Because EFI_PCD_PROTOCOL is DXE protocol that is not aviable in OS runtime phase.
