MdeModulePkg: FaultTolerantWriteDxe: mellow DEBUGs about workspace reinit
The IsValidWorkSpace() function checks if the working block header of the
workspace is valid. A mismatch detected by this function is not
necessarily an error; it can happen with an as-yet unwritten flash chip,
which is e.g. common and normal when a new ArmVirtQemu virtual machine is
booted. Therefore downgrade the message emitted by IsValidWorkSpace() from
EFI_D_ERROR to EFI_D_INFO, and change the wording from "error" to
"mismatch".
The only caller of IsValidWorkSpace(), InitFtwProtocol(), handles all of
the following cases:
(1) IsValidWorkSpace() succeeds for the working block -- this is normal
operation,
(2) IsValidWorkSpace() fails for the working block, but succeeds for the
spare block -- InitFtwProtocol() then restores the working block from
the spare block,
(3) IsValidWorkSpace() fails for both the working and spare blocks --
InitFtwProtocol() reinitializes the full workspace.
In cases (2) and (3), InitFtwProtocol() logs additional messages about the
branch taken. Their current level is EFI_D_ERROR, but the messages are
arguably informative, not necessarily error reports.
Downgrade these messages from EFI_D_ERROR to EFI_D_INFO, so that they
don't clutter the debug output when the PcdDebugPrintErrorLevel mask only
enables EFI_D_ERROR (i.e., in a "silent" build).
These messages have annoyed / confused users; see for example:
