From d82070c3838f1d7290b3047e0287e3eac141adf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2018 15:33:52 +0100 Subject: Add msgb_tl_put() helper When adding complex TLV structures where length of V is not known in advance it's handy to be able to simply add Tag and save the pointer to the Length field so it can be updated once entire Value is added and its length is known.
