not yet. It was mostly what you just did in ath9k anyway :)

The sample rate control module and net80211 already had the duration
calculation bits, and I was just trying to figure out how to track it
per-node in a useful way without blowing CPU time.

The existing routines take GI, MCS rate, channel width; figure out
MIMO, and do the math. The assumption is the symbol count is the same.
For STBC I think there's an additional symbol at the end (because it's
mixed current symbol plus previous symbol.) I forget the details for
LDPC.

I'll er, go read the standard again. :)
