From: Ilan Peer <ilan.p...@intel.com>
Upstream commit e19ebcab01cc130fa832764d453b263460ec3b91. I
had erroneously thought this didn't apply to 3.5 but Daniel
ran into the error there.
It is possible that the BSS context is not active (for example
when the current mode is set to GO), or that the vif->type is
different than station. In such a case we cannot
call mac80211 to report the average rssi for the interface
(the function assumes that the vif is valid and that the type
is station).
