Our goal is to provide solid, common interfaces for Linux users to rely on. Not give way to vendor specific "solutions" like uploading ini files to perform device configuration. > Note that we don't have devlink support in our driver yet.

To be clear - I'm suggesting the creation of a more targeted APIs to control the settings you have encoded _inside_ the ini file. Not a new interface for an whole sale config upload. Worst case scenario - if the settings are really device specific you can try to use devlink device parameters.
