OK, Sounds like a plan!

One suggestion for now to still keep supporting CSM till you figure out how
to fix it on EDK would be, make the CSM port based on the old EDK version
that still supports it and proceed with the updates as you did before and
were good.

IMHO, CSM will die sooner or later as more and more OS are supporting UEFI.

Of course the easiest way to solve this issue is, fix the CSM support on
the latest version of EDK.
