So here is the observed patterns,
   * When the RSSI override is triggered, rs_isaggr and rs_moreaggr is 
set(true)
   * When rs_isaggr and rs_moreaggr is set, overwhelmingly of those had the
         RSSI overridden but there were a few that were not
   * When rs_isaggr is set and rs_moreaggr is not set, the RSSI was 
never overridden.

Based on this and thinking about how ath9k_process_rssi works I don't 
see any other way but to leave my fix-up. The alternative would be in 
user-space I will have to remember that the signal strength for an 
aggregate series will come from the last frame in the aggregate. Is 
there another way that I am not thinking of?
