[shafi] I am also thinking to re-use (ar->fw_stats_req_mask & WMI_10_4_STAT_PEER_EXTD)
it might work, but will it conflict vdev stats WMI_STAT_VDEV (though its not currently
supported for 10.2 ) let me know your thoughts about this, seems extended stats
was implemented for 10.4 wmi version so i made it explicit
