nl80211: specify RSSI threshold in scheduled scan
Support configuring an RSSI threshold in dBm (s32) when requesting scheduled scan, below which a BSS won't be reported by the cfg80211 driver. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <c_tpeder@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
