They were added recently:
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt%2Fopenwrt.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit&s=airtime+policy

However, I've been playing with them and I still wasn't able to see a
change in station airtime weight, in either of the three modes. I've
only tested mt76 hardware yet, but I'll soon test ath9k and ath10k.

Thanks,
Rui
