The following non-upstream patch has been included in edk2-non-osi:

Hisilicon/D06: Add Setup Item “Support DPC”

Platform Support

Platforms supported by this release include:

qemu-aarch32, qemu-aarch64 (mach-virt)
Hisilicon D03, D05, D06
ARM Foundation/FVP Base and SGI575 models

New in this release

Major changes to D06 port. Additional onboard firmware images need to be updated in lock-step with the system firmware, so no capsule is made available for this release – .hpm files are provided for upgrade via BMC. Once upgraded, the system firmware can no longer be downgraded to previous versions using capsules. Since the flash layout has changed, any stored firmware configuration will be lost at upgrade.
Fixes D05 MAC addresses missing in Linux
Fixes D06 USB crash issue

Known issues

LuvOS reports an error on capsule update tests. This is believed not to affect any real world deployments since all known mechanisms (including fwupd.org) perform updates during boot services. This has been addressed by later upstream edk2 commit 2c0d39ac4704 (“MdeModulePkg/DxeCapsuleLibFmp: clone ESRT for runtime access”)
