I have one more request.

It is very discouraging for a user to give invalid parameters and
receive -EOPNOTSUPP, because this is indicative of other "usual
suspects": "did I enable CONFIG_NET_SCH_CBS?"

It is unfortunate that struct tc_cbs_qopt_offload does not carry a
netlink extack, but I'm also not requesting you to add one here.
Instead, please at least change the return code to something like
-EINVAL, and print something to the console along the lines of:
"Invalid portTransmitRate %lld (idleSlope - sendSlope)\n".
