Right. So comparing the rs_stamp between first and last MPDU should give
the duration of the entire thing? This would require keeping state
between subsequent calls to the RX handler. Also, what happens if the
last MPDU is lost?

Hmm. If it is, comparing the stamp of the first MPDU to the current time
(when handling it) should give the needed duration? Will try doing that
and see what the result is.
