Hi all,

Test case 12 of uefiauthvar will pass even if UEFI doesn't support
authenticated variable, while all other cases in this suite will be
skipped.

Test case 12 is to test invalid parameter processing of auth var,
however, if UEFI doesn't support auth var, it will always return
invalid parameter.

Below is the log:
uefirtauthvar  ;INF Test 11 of 13: Authenticated variable test with invalid
uefirtauthvar  ;INF attributes.
uefirtauthvar  ;INF Return status: EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER. A parameter was
uefirtauthvar  ;INF incorrect.
uefirtauthvar  ;INF Test 12 of 13: Test with both authenticated
attributes are
uefirtauthvar  ;INF set.
uefirtauthvar  ;INF Test 13 of 13: Set and delete authenticated variable
created
uefirtauthvar  ;INF by different key test.
uefirtauthvar  ;INF Return status: EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER. A parameter was
uefirtauthvar  ;INF incorrect.

uefirtauthvar  ;SUM 1 passed, 0 failed, 0 warning, 0 aborted, 12
skipped, 0 info
uefirtauthvar  ;SUM only.

I think it is more reasonable to have a basic test before any further
test to make sure UEFI supports auth var, otherwise all test cases
should be skipped. Test 12 being passed is a little confusing.

Thanks.
