Ashish, Are you asking for example code, or reasons that you would not want to enumerate something as bootable? Most likely if you want to have a platform policy to add gEdkiiSkipBmAutoEnumerateProtocolGuid you are going to need an EFI Driver Model driver to add it to the handle based on some platform policy. This is the only way you can filter based on things getting connected at different times during boot.
