Thank you for working on this! I generally approve of this, with a few
comments and questions below:

I'm a little bit on the fence as to whether the macro-based definitions
is a bit too magical. It's not how any of the other list structures in
the kernel is done. OTOH, it's nice to have usage-specific structure
names. So yeah, on the fence... Hopefully others have a stronger opinion :)

If we no longer honour AIRTIME_USE_TX, maybe we should make sure it
never gets unset (so as not to confuse users who think they've turned
off ATF when they haven't)?

So this implies that we always schedule in airtime order (i.e., enforce
fairness) for any driver that can get a meaningful value returned from
ieee80211_calc_expected_tx_airtime(), right? That's probably OK, but
just want to make sure we've thought through all the implications of
this.
A comment here explaining why this is done would be useful; it's a bit
counter-intuitive when just looking at the code. Your comment in the
commit message implies that scheduling doesn't work correctly if this is
not done, but then what happens if airtime is 0 and we bail out above?

The void function is a bit cumbersome in use IMO. How about making it
return the txq pointer directly? You can still save the current txq_idx
at the beginning of the loop below to detect cycles.

Can txq actually be NULL here? airtime_info_next_txq_idx() has a NULL

How can this happen in normal operation? This implies that a TXQ was
scheduled without a backlog; isn't that a bug that we should warn on?

We obtained node with a dequeue above, so presumably it's no longer at
the head of the queue? So how can this check ever be true?

Now that there's no early return, this could be made an 'else' branch of
the if (purge) block above...

This sets the bit even if the AQL check fails below; is that intentional?

why delete here instead of unschedule?

I get the intention behind this, and think it's (probably) reasonable.
But testing it with an actual ath10k device in push/pull mode would be
