I can't remember why we ended up with the above mentioned formula to
calculate the signal strength reported back from wpa_supplicant. I
read it the same way you do, anything above -20 is a very good signal.

Only the values documented in API description are exposed via D-Bus,
see network_security() in wifi.c.
After looking at this function I think we don't handle all the
reported values from gsupplicant correclty.
