/** AML code generation for a method returning a Buffer.
AmlCodeGenMethodRetBuffer (
"_MAT", ReturnedBuffer, ReturnedBufferSize, 1, TRUE, 0, ParentNode, NewObjectNode
);
is equivalent of the following ASL code:
Method(_MAT, 1, Serialized, 0) {
Return (Buffer (ReturnedBufferSize) {...})
}
To return an empty buffer, call the function with
(ReturnedBuffer=NULL, ReturnedBufferSize=0).
@param [in] MethodNameString The new Method's name.
Must be a NULL-terminated ASL NameString
e.g.: "MET0", "_SB.MET0", etc.
The input string is copied.
@param [in] ReturnedBuffer The buffer returned by the method.
The input buffer is copied.
NULL if an empty buffer is returned.
@param [in] ReturnedBufferSize Size of ReturnedBuffer.
Must be 0 if ReturnedBuffer is NULL.
@param [in] NumArgs Number of arguments.
Must be 0 <= NumArgs <= 6.
@param [in] IsSerialized TRUE is equivalent to Serialized.
FALSE is equivalent to NotSerialized.
Default is NotSerialized in ASL spec.
@param [in] SyncLevel Synchronization level for the method.
Must be 0 <= SyncLevel <= 15.
Default is 0 in ASL.
@param [in] ParentNode If provided, set ParentNode as the parent
of the node created.
@param [out] NewObjectNode If success, contains the created node.
@retval EFI_SUCCESS Success.
@retval EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER Invalid parameter.
@retval EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES Failed to allocate memory.
