No, but on tx_completion we could do something like this:
airtime = CB(skb)->tx_time ?: CB(skb)->tx_time_est;
ieee80211_report_airtime(sta, airtime);
That way, if the driver sets the tx_time field to something the firmware
reports, we'll use that, and otherwise we'd fall back to the estimate.
Of course, there would need to be a way for the driver to opt out of
this, for drivers that report out of band airtime like ath10k does :)
