The code to fill the IPA length fields is duplicated three times across the driver: 1. qeth_send_ipa_cmd() sets IPA_CMD_LENGTH, which matches the defaults in the IPA_PDU_HEADER template. 2. for OSN, qeth_osn_send_ipa_cmd() bypasses this logic and inserts the length passed by the caller. 3. SNMP commands (that can outgrow IPA_CMD_LENGTH) have their own way of setting the length fields, via qeth_send_ipa_snmp_cmd(). Consolidate this into qeth_prepare_ipa_cmd(), which all originators of IPA cmds already call during setup of their cmd. Let qeth_send_ipa_cmd() pull the length from the cmd instead of hard-coding IPA_CMD_LENGTH. For now, the SNMP code still needs to fix-up its length fields manually.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
