✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int i40e_aq_get_lldp_mib (struct i40e_hw *hw , u8 bridge_type , u8
       mib_type , void *buff , u16 buff_size , u16 *local_len , u16 *remote_len
       , struct i40e_asq_cmd_details *cmd_details );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — struct i40e_hw * pointer to the hw struct. The hardware bestie in question. 🫶
• bridge_type — u8 type of bridge requested. Which bridge vibe are we asking for? 💅
• mib_type — u8 Local, Remote or both Local and Remote MIBs. Choose your MIB main-character energy. ✨
• buff — void * pointer to a user supplied buffer to store the MIB block. This is where the MIB block gets to live. 🏠
• buff_size — u16 size of the buffer (in bytes). Yes, in bytes, no cap. 🔥
• local_len — u16 * length of the returned Local LLDP MIB. The Local length report card. 🌸
• remote_len — u16 * length of the returned Remote LLDP MIB. The Remote length report card. 🦋
• cmd_details — struct i40e_asq_cmd_details * pointer to command details structure or NULL. NULL is allowed, bestie. 🎀
