213 * struct ethtool_regs - hardware register dump
214 * @cmd: Command number = %ETHTOOL_GREGS
215 * @version: Dump format version. This is driver-specific and may
216 * distinguish different chips/revisions. Drivers must use new
217 * version numbers whenever the dump format changes in an
218 * incompatible way.
219 * @len: On entry, the real length of @data. On return, the number of
220 * bytes used.
221 * @data: Buffer for the register dump
222 *
223 * Users should use %ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO to find the maximum length of
224 * a register dump for the interface. They must allocate the buffer
225 * immediately following this structure.
