Yeah. Or maybe have a separate event to postpone dynps timer or
something like that (if firmware informs host whenever there's coex
traffic).

One extreme is that wl12xx would set IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS
and reimplement the dynps timer in the driver. That way the driver
would have full control how it works and not complicate the mac80211
implementation.
