The name is cryptic. Why "_s"?

Again, cryptic.

I still fail to understand why the name of this is "config". Please
change to something else across whole code. Including the name of the struct.

You have dev. Why not use dev?

This is just silly. Why you don't have the content of rmnet_ingress_handler
right here?
