Right, if it is only required by ARM, then it should under ARM section.
Thank you

Thank you.
OK, that's logically consistent.
So we'd need an ArmLibNull in MdePkg until ArmLib itself migrates there
(ideally subsumed into BaseLib).
But the dependency in .inf should still be able to be declared under
[LibraryClasses.AArch64, LibraryClasses.ARM]?

The DSC is only the package internal stuff, you can create multiple DSCs or

Hello Leif,
I think the following files:
- ArmPkg/Include/Chipset/AArch64.h
- ArmPkg/Include/Chipset/AArch64Mmu.h
- ArmPkg/Include/Chipset/ArmV7.h
- ArmPkg/Include/Chipset/ArmV7Mmu.h
also need to be moved to the MdePkg. Otherwise the MdePkg
would depend on the ArmPkg, cf. ArmLib.h:
#ifdef
Related to https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4121, but not
resolving it. (Nearly?) all of ArmPkg describes industry standard
behaviour, and hence according to general rules, ought to live in MdePkg.
Addressing this will however be a substantial task.
Take a first step by moving the
