Why would I want to do this? If the community agrees on anything, it is that the signal is given in
dBm (i.e. a negative number) and that the rssi is a positive number. The firmware in the bcm43xx
chips return a quantity that looks like an rssi with a received packet, and bcm43xx_rssi_postprocess
turns that into a quantity that looks like dBm. Your patch reverses those designations and mixes up
the two quantities. Again I ask "Why"?
