+ Tests to see if this driver supports a given controller. If a child device is provided, \r
+ it further tests to see if this driver supports creating a handle for the specified child device.\r
+\r
+ This function checks to see if the driver specified by This supports the device specified by \r
+ ControllerHandle. Drivers will typically use the device path attached to \r
+ ControllerHandle and/or the services from the bus I/O abstraction attached to \r
+ ControllerHandle to determine if the driver supports ControllerHandle. This function \r
+ may be called many times during platform initialization. In order to reduce boot times, the tests \r
+ performed by this function must be very small, and take as little time as possible to execute. This \r
+ function must not change the state of any hardware devices, and this function must be aware that the \r
+ device specified by ControllerHandle may already be managed by the same driver or a \r
+ different driver. This function must match its calls to AllocatePages() with FreePages(), \r
+ AllocatePool() with FreePool(), and OpenProtocol() with CloseProtocol(). \r
+ Because ControllerHandle may have been previously started by the same driver, if a protocol is \r
+ already in the opened state, then it must not be closed with CloseProtocol(). This is required \r
+ to guarantee the state of ControllerHandle is not modified by this function.\r
+\r
+ @param[in] This A pointer to the EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL instance.\r
+ @param[in] ControllerHandle The handle of the controller to test. This handle \r
+ must support a protocol interface that supplies \r
+ an I/O abstraction to the driver.\r
+ @param[in] RemainingDevicePath A pointer to the remaining portion of a device path. This \r
+ parameter is ignored by device drivers, and is optional for bus \r
+ drivers. For bus drivers, if this parameter is not NULL, then \r
+ the bus driver must determine if the bus controller specified \r
+ by ControllerHandle and the child controller specified \r
+ by RemainingDevicePath are both supported by this \r
+ bus driver.\r
+\r
+ @retval EFI_SUCCESS The device specified by ControllerHandle and\r
+ RemainingDevicePath is supported by the driver specified by This.\r
+ @retval EFI_ALREADY_STARTED The device specified by ControllerHandle and\r
+ RemainingDevicePath is already being managed by the driver\r
+ specified by This.\r
