/* for passing EEPROM chunks */ /**
* struct ethtool_eeprom - EEPROM dump
* @cmd: Command number = %ETHTOOL_GEEPROM, %ETHTOOL_GMODULEEEPROM or
* %ETHTOOL_SEEPROM
* @magic: A 'magic cookie' value to guard against accidental changes.
* The value passed in to %ETHTOOL_SEEPROM must match the value
* returned by %ETHTOOL_GEEPROM for the same device. This is
* unused when @cmd is %ETHTOOL_GMODULEEEPROM.
* @offset: Offset within the EEPROM to begin reading/writing, in bytes
* @len: On entry, number of bytes to read/write. On successful
* return, number of bytes actually read/written. In case of
* error, this may indicate at what point the error occurred.
* @data: Buffer to read/write from
*
* Users may use %ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO or %ETHTOOL_GMODULEINFO to find
* the length of an on-board or module EEPROM, respectively. They
* must allocate the buffer immediately following this structure.
