I may note that the situation for ath9k driver is not much better.
While it did seem as if statistics of all channels were returned, but
the actual implementation indicates that only statistics of the
current channel were updated, in an incremental way, which means that
the returned statistics of other channels were stale and that the data
may not well represent the most recent state of channel since all
history information were mixed together.
