Airtime policy configuration is extremely useful in multiple BSS scenarios.
Since nowadays most people configure both private and guest networks (at
least), it makes sense to enable it by default, except for the most limited
of the variants.

Size of the hostapd-basic-openssl binary (mipsel 24Kc -O2):
543944 bytes (airtime policy disabled)
548040 bytes (airtime policy enabled)

The -mesh variants are basically -full with extra mesh functionality, so they
already have airtime policy enabled by default.

Are there any new UCI options to be added to make use of this?

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
