Thanks Liming. The patch looks good to me:
Reviewed-by: Hao A Wu <hao.a.wu@intel.com>

I have one question that I think both the reports are false positives.
Do you think it will be better to add this information in the commit message?

Best Regards,
Hao Wu

(1) we have a bugzilla ticket related to this (or more precisely,
overlapping AtaAtapiPassThru):

https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3228

I think mentioning the BZ in the commit message might make sense.

(2) Recently we have used a special comment format for such assignments.
Namely:

  //
  // Set Status to suppress incorrect compiler/analyzer warnings
  //
  Status = EFI_SUCCESS;

Hao already requested that we should document that we only suppress
compiler false positives with these assignments -- they are not needed
functionally. However, I think saying so in the commit message *only* is
not sufficient. I think we should stick with the above code-comment
format (which we've used recently in several places).

Thanks!
Laszlo
