✨ qed_add_tlv(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 — this one's qed_add_tlv, and it's literally the "put the thing on the buffer" girlie. Let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_add_tlv — place a given tlv on the tlv buffer at next offset

that's it, that's the whole vibe. she places tlvs. iconic behavior. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void * qed_add_tlv (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , u8 **offset , u16 type ,
u16 length );

no cap, she returns a void * and takes four args — we love a straightforward queen 👑

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

• p_hwfn — HW device data. the hardware's whole little data situation 🫶
• offset — offset. yes bestie, it's the offset — that's the whole job 😭
• type — Type. the type!! of the tlv!! 🧚
• length — Length. how long it is, obviously 💀

fr fr, the original is that chill about describing these. we're keeping it exactly as-is, no invented lore 🙈

🔥 RETURN 🔥

pointer to the newly placed tlv

she gives you back a pointer to the tlv she just placed — like handing you the receipt for the thing you just bought 💖
