/**
  Initialize the debug port.

  This function will initialize debug port to get it ready for data transmission. If
  certain Debug Communication Library instance has to save some private data in the
  stack, this function must work on the mode that doesn't return to the caller, then
  the caller needs to wrap up all rest of logic after DebugPortInitialize() into one
  function and pass it into DebugPortInitialize(). DebugPortInitialize() is
  responsible to invoke the passing-in function at the end of DebugPortInitialize().

  If the parameter Function is not NULL, Debug Communication Library instance will
  invoke it by passing in the Context to be the first parameter. Debug Communication
  Library instance could create one debug port handle to be the second parameter
  passing into the Function. Debug Communication Library instance also could pass
  NULL to be the second parameter if it doesn't create the debug port handle.

  If the parameter Function is NULL, and Context is not NULL. At this time, Context
  is the debug port handle created by the previous Debug Communication Library
  instance.
  a) If the instance can understand and continue use the private data of the previous
     instance, it could return the same handle as passed in (as Context parameter).
  b) If the instance does not understand, or does not want to continue use the
     private data of the previous instance, it could ignore the input Context parameter
     and create the new handle to be returned.

  If Function() is NULL and Context is NULL, Debug Communication Library could create a
  new handle and return it. NULL is also a valid handle to be returned.

  @param[in] Context      Context needed by callback function; it was optional.
  @param[in] Function     Continue function called by Debug Communication library;
                          it was optional.

  @return  The debug port handle created by Debug Communication Library if Function
           is not NULL.
