If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Felix Fietkau commit 838f427955dcfd16858b0108ce29029da0d56a4e upstream. The ath9k commit 2ef167557c0a26c88162ecffb017bfcc51eb7b29 (ath9k: fix signal strength reporting issues) fixed an issue where the reported per-frame signal strength reported to mac80211 was being overwritten with an internal average. The same issue is also present in ath9k_htc. In addition to preventing the driver from overwriting the value, this commit also ensures that the internal average (which is used for ANI) only tracks beacons of the AP that we're connected to.
