Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: fix RSSI report in AP mode

After commit 9a1590934d9a ("brcmfmac: correctly report average RSSI in
station info") it is required from firmware to provide rx_lastpkt_rssi.
If this field is not provided brcmfmac doesn't report any RSSI at all.
Unfortunately some firmwares doesn't provide it. One example is firmware
for BCM43455 found in Raspbberry Pi.
See https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/4574

Fix it by falling back to rssi field if rx_lastpkt_rssi is not provided
(like it was before 9a1590934d9a).

Fixes: 9a1590934d9a ("brcmfmac: correctly report average RSSI in station info")
