What I think Rafał is saying is that it would be better to have this
code in cfg80211 so other drivers including mac80211 could use it.

Indeed. However, the LED subsystem could/should(?) take care of mapping
"rx" and "tx" triggers to the same LED.

I am happy to comment on your patch, but maybe you can first take a look
at the suggestion Rafał made above.
