mac80211: add an rx flag for ignoring a packet's signal strength
For A-MPDU rx it makes sense to only process the signal strength once per aggregate instead of once per subframe. Additonally, some hardware (e.g. Atheros) only provides valid signal strength information for the last subframe. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.
