Drivers that use RSS cannot get the avg signal from mac80211.
So allow drivers to report the avg chain signal while letting
mac80211 take care of the last chain signal.

I don't think that comment adds value, in fact, since it's _after_ the
condition it applies to (rather than before), it's confusing? At least
to me it was ... And if you read the condition that already says so
pretty clearly anyway.

Now you've duplicated this code ... you can remove it above, no?

The conditional check in this second block is different.  It is one reason
why I added the other comment in the preceeding code.

I can fix the typo (bug -> but) in the comment and the indentation.

If you still think code is duplicated, please let me know more precisely
what is duplicated...maybe I mis-understood your comment.

Thanks,
Ben
