That's still essentially an ini file, just using a binary format hidden
inside the firmware image. The firmware meta data is for advertising
capabilities of the firmware binary so that ath10k choose correct
settings to run the binary, not for delivering configuration settings
from user space.

If we would start providing driver settings from firmware binaries that
would just confuse anyone.
