Currently, the only parameter of a SPAN agent is the netdev which the SPAN agent should mirror to. The next patch will add the ability to request a SPAN agent that mirrors to a specific netdev and has a specific policer ID bound to it. This is required when mirroring packets to the CPU port. Therefore, encapsulate the sole parameter to mlxsw_sp_span_agent_get() in a structure, so that it could later be extended with policer information.

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.
