cfg80211/mac80211: fill qual.qual value/adjust max_qual.qual
Due to various bugs in the software stack we end up having to fill qual.qual; level should be used, but wpa_supplicant doesn't properly ignore qual.qual, NM should use qual.level regardless of that because qual.qual is 0 but doesn't handle IW_QUAL_DBM right now. So fill qual.qual with the qual.level value clamped to -110..-40 dBm or just the regular 'unspecified' signal level. This requires a mac80211 change to properly announce the max_qual.qual and avg_qual.qual values. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
