 /**
+ * hwrm_req_replace() - Replace request data.
+ * @bp: The driver context.
+ * @req: The request to modify. A call to hwrm_req_replace() is conceptually
+ *	an assignment of new_req to req. Subsequent calls to HWRM API functions,
+ *	such as hwrm_req_send(), should thus use req and not new_req (in fact,
+ *	calls to HWRM API functions will fail if non-managed request objects
+ *	are passed).
+ * @len: The length of new_req.
+ * @new_req: The pre-built request to copy or reference.
+ *
+ * Replaces the request data in req with that of new_req. This is useful in
+ * scenarios where a request object has already been constructed by a third
+ * party prior to creating a resource managed request using hwrm_req_init().
+ * Depending on the length, hwrm_req_replace() will either copy the new
+ * request data into the DMA memory allocated for req, or it will simply
+ * reference the new request and use it in lieu of req during subsequent
+ * calls to hwrm_req_send(). The resource management is associated with
+ * req and is independent of and does not apply to new_req. The caller must
+ * ensure that the lifetime of new_req is least as long as req.
+ *
+ * Return: zero on success, negative error code otherwise:
+ *     E2BIG: Request is too large.
+ *     EINVAL: Invalid request to modify.
