Or in the case of RTL8188EU, report the RSSI to the rate control code.
The rate control code for RTL8188EU is less likely to switch to a lower
rate when the RSSI is high. The firmware-based rate control in the other
chips probably works the same way.
This affects all the chips, but it was only tested with RTL8188EU,
RTL8188FU, and RTL8192EU.

v2:
- Suggestion from Ping-Ke Shih:
- Make h2c_size 4 instead of 3 in rtl8xxxu_gen1_report_rssi().
Just to make it less confusing. It doesn't change the behaviour.
