It seems that you just copied the logic from EDK II instead of 
programming according to the UEFI specification.

I cannot see that the UEFI specification allows NULL pointers inside the 
array.

According to the UEFI specification the table_size must match the array 
size and not the number of non-NULL elements. If there is a NULL pointer 
in the middle of the table and you decrease the table_size value, the 
last non-NULL element is not accessible anymore.

A correct implementation would move all elements after the deleted one 
one slot to the front.
