From: Shiji Yang <yangshiji66 at qq.com>

Introducing SoC specific RSSI base value to fix the low RSSI issue
on MT7620. With this fix[1], the RSSI value reported by MT7620 will
increase by 10 dB.

+Subject: [PATCH] wifi: rt2x00: fix MT7620 low RSSI issue
+
+On Mediatek vendor driver[1], MT7620 (RT6352) uses different RSSI
+base value '-2' compared to the other RT2x00 chips. This patch
+introduces the SoC specific base value to fix the low RSSI value
+reports on MT7620.
