Sorry but I think that's a bad idea. Nesting attributes in netlink
with no semantic implications, just to "organize" attributes which
are somehow related just complicates the code and wastes space.
Netlink is not JSON.

Especially in this case, where we would do it for future uAPI extension
which I really hope we won't need, since (1) devlink already has one,
(2) the point of this API is to reduce the uAPI surface, not extend it,
(3) user requirements for devlink and netdev config are different.
