Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Fix incorrect returned signal strengths

In rtl8192se, rtl8192cu, and rtl8192du, the routines that process the
received frames get the signal strength from the RSSI value. Unfortunately,
that value is non-zero only if the interface is associated with the AP. As
a result, scans return incorrect values for the strength, which causes
unwanted attempts to roam.
