Do you foresee this happening? New silicon simply won't be using legacy (non-802.11) so I do not expect new chipsets to have this setup and I do not foresee neither a driver supporting these devices nor interest from anyone actually implementing this upstream. Even consider Turbo stuff on Atheros legacy chipsets. For eons I've been recommending this crap just be removed from ath5k but yet there has been resistance. To this day no one has worked on it nor do I expect anyone will and actually get Turbo support upstream. So yes, perhaps some odd ball legacy devices exist with a setup other than ANT_A ANT_B and DIVERSITY but I do not think we will support them upstream, ever.
