+ * All manipulations with HW tables entries require forming
+ * a key and response.
+ * The key and response fields follow, consecutively, each
+ * packed as follows:
+ *  - the key/response is logically treated as a single wide N-bit value;
+ *  - fields have been placed in these logical values per the "lbn" and "width"
+ *    information from the table field descriptors;
+ *  - the wide N-bit value is padded at the MSB end up to a 32-bit boundary;
+ *  - the values are put into the table op request with bits[31:0] of the wide
+ *    value in the first 32-bit word, bits[63:32] in the second 32-bit word, etc.
+ *
+ * Below is an API that helps to form  MCDI insertion/deletion request.
+ * Workflow:
+ * 1) Allocate an array of EFX_TABLE_ENTRY_LENGTH_MAX bytes.
+ * 2) Read a descriptor of the table that you want to use.
+ * 3) Fill the array using sfc_tbls_field_set_* functions to form a key.
+ *    Each field of the key has LBN and width. This information can be
+ *    found in a field's descriptor.
+ * 4) Use sfc_tbls_next_req_fields() to get a pointer where the response
+ *    must start. It's required as the key and response need to be
+ *    zero-padded at the MSB end to multiples of 32 bits.
+ * 5) Fill the response the same way.
+ * 6) Use sfc_tbls_next_req_fields() to get the end of the data request.
+ *    It will help you to get the real size of the data request.
