Alternatively we could leave it as general callback "drv_get_rssi()",
add the peer address and let the driver decide if it supports
retrieval of the rssi for the given peer.  Thus, allowing us to do
something like:

if (!local->ops->get_rssi) || (drv_get_rssi(local, sdata,
sta->sta.addr, &sinfo->signal))
        sinfo->signal = (s8)sta->last_signal;
