Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] rtlwifi: rtl8723ae: Don't use dm.undec_sm_pwdb for
 input

 gain control when no beacon was received in the connected state

When no beacon was received, the value in dm.undec_sm_pwdb is most
likely out of date and should not be used to adjust the input path.
Assume instead that the signal level is low.

Fix the state machine in rtl8723e_dm_cck_packet_detection_thresh
which did not clear pre_cck_fa_state when changing cur_cck_pd_state
from CCK_PD_STAGE_LOWRSSI/CCK_FA_STAGE_LOW to CCK_PD_STAGE_HIGHRSSI
and back again to CCK_PD_STAGE_LOWRSSI/CCK_FA_STAGE_LOW, the register
RCCK0_CCA not written to 0x83 on the second change.

Explicitly initialize pre_cck_fa_state/cur_cck_fa_state in
rtl_dm_diginit.
