FWIW, I've now implemented this in Linux (in mac80211), although I start
a new radiotap namespace for each antenna, separate from the first one,
so you'll see

 * any of: TSF, flags, rate, channel, MCS, a-mpdu, VHT, ...
(new radiotap namespace)
 * ant signal: -40 dBm
 * anntenna: 0
(new radiotap namespace)
 * ant signal: -45 dBm
 * anntenna: 1
... for however many antennas/chains there are.
