A bit more information about the design would be nice. With mon status I
guess you mean ath11k_hal_rx_parse_mon_status()? How is performance and
power consumption affected here? Especially I'm worried how often this
new WMI command is sent, is it only when ath11k_mac_op_sta_statistics()
is called?

And I think this only works when CONFIG_ATH11K_DEBUGFS is enabled,
right?

The comment is really providing any value, please remove.

Same here.

le32_get_bits() makes the code simpler.

In this function there's a lot of pointer arithmetic and casting, can't
you use ath11k_wmi_tlv_parse_alloc() & friends for parsing the TLVs?

This is already defined on line 27.
