[PATCH 08/11] rt2x00: Use IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_INVALID directly

[Ivo van Doorn <ivdoorn@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Mattias Nissler <mattias.nissler@xxxxxx>

Restrict rssi average updating to beacon frames of the bssid the
interface is
associated with. Without this restriction, strong signals belonging to other
BSS, e.g. beacon frames coming from a nearby AP, would cause incorrectly high
rssi approximation values. This would then cause the link tuner to reduce
sensitivity, resulting in transmissions from the BSS associated to to be
missed.
