The presence of this GUID in the PPI database, and/or in the DXE protocol database (as dictated by the platform's needs in these firmware phases) implies that the platform provides the operating system with a Device Tree-based hardware description. This is not necessarily exclusive with other types of hardware description (for example, an ACPI-based one). A platform PEIM and/or DXE driver is supposed to produce a single instance of the PPI and/or protocol (with NULL contents), if appropriate. The decision to produce the PPI and/or protocol is platform specific; for example, in the DXE phase, it could depend on an HII checkbox / underlying non-volatile UEFI variable. In the DXE phase, the protocol is meant to be consumed by the platform driver that - owns the Device Tree description of the hardware, and - is responsible for installing it as a system configuration table. Said FDT-owner driver can wait for the protocol via DEPEX or protocol notify. Because this GUID is not standard, it is prefixed with EDKII / Edkii, as seen elsewhere (for example in MdeModulePkg and SecurityPkg).

EDKII Platform Has Device Tree GUID
|
|
|
|
A NULL protocol instance with this GUID in the DXE protocol database, and/or
|
|
a NULL PPI with this GUID in the PPI database, implies that the platform
|
|
provides the operating system with a Device Tree-based hardware description.
|
|
Note that this is not necessarily exclusive with different kinds of hardware
|
|
description (for example, an ACPI-based one). A platform driver and/or PEIM
|
|
is supposed to produce a single instance of the protocol and/or PPI (with
|
|
NULL contents), if appropriate.
