In wireless statistics reporting, three quantities related to the signal are reported: "qual"
(linear with the signal), "level" (logarithmic), and "noise". In mac80211 and the drivers that use
it, the first two have a mixture of internal names for those quantities. To reduce confusion, this
series of patches make the internal names match the entity that is being kept.
So that any bisection of the source will always result in code that will compile, the patches are
divided as follows:
1/4: The new names are added to the appropriate struct definitions in mac80211.
2/4: The mac80211 routines are modified to use the new names.
3/4: The drivers that use mac80211 are modified.
4/4: The old names are removed from the struct definitions.
These changes assume the prior application of patches "[PATCH] mac80211: remove redundant rssi
information in scan results" by Michael Wu and "[PATCH] mac80211: Report correct wireless
statistics" by Larry Finger.
