  @param  This             Protocol instance pointer.
  @param  BaudRate         The requested baud rate. A BaudRate value of 0 will use the
                           device's default interface speed.
  @param  ReveiveFifoDepth The requested depth of the FIFO on the receive side of the
                           serial interface. A ReceiveFifoDepth value of 0 will use
                           the device's default FIFO depth.

                           out value.
  @param  Parity           The type of parity to use on this serial device. A Parity value of
                           DefaultParity will use the device's default parity value.
  @param  DataBits         The number of data bits to use on the serial device. A DataBits
                           vaule of 0 will use the device's default data bit setting.
  @param  StopBits         The number of stop bits to use on this serial device. A StopBits
                           value of DefaultStopBits will use the device's default number of

  The number of characters the device will buffer on input

  @param DataBits
  The number of characters the device will buffer on input

  If applicable, this is the EFI_PARITY_TYPE that is computed or
  checked as each character is transmitted or reveived. If the device
