yes, it is ath11k_hal_rx_parse_mon_status().

I did a test in Ubuntu20, after STATION connected to AP, ath11k_mac_op_sta_statistics()
is only called each 6 seconds by NetworkManager in below stack.
This patch is similar with "ath10k: add rx bitrate report for SDIO"(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath.git/commit/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k?id=0f7cb26830a6e740455a7064e46ff1e926197ecb). And it does not
impact performance. Also the 1 wmi/event for each 6 seconds does not impact power consumption.

Also I add check similar with ath10k/SDIO only for WCN6855/QCA6390.

yes, if not enable CONFIG_ATH11K_DEBUGFS, then no value get from firmware.
