This only works up to 4 chains, but the specs at least support 8. I
don't think we have any drivers for that, but ...

And it's also rather ugly, IMHO.

We're reporting these through nl80211 anyway though, no? Why should we
prefer ethtool, which fundamentally limits to a single value for the AP
rather than giving the full per-station view.
