Returns the next SMI tick period supported by the chipset. The order
returned is from longest to shortest interval period.
@param This The protocol instance pointer.

period supported by the child. This parameter works as a get-first,
get-next field. The first time this function is called, *SmiTickInterval
should be set to NULL to get the longest SMI interval. The returned
*SmiTickInterval should be passed in on subsequent calls to get the
next shorter interval period until *SmiTickInterval = NULL.
