12.6.2 Don't reparse the package list

Space is very important in the firmware. Size can be reduced by reparsing the forms and package list. However, it is better to let the code that already does that kind of parsing perform this task. This code already exists in the platform, so there is no reason to add it to a driver. In fact, even the browser should call a GetString() function instead of parsing the string package itself.


TIP: Avoid writing code that parses the package list.


TIP: When in doubt, submit the package list, then the driver can call the getstring function and set-string function.
