At present, the ATH12K_DEFAULT_NOISE_FLOOR (-95) is used to calculate RSSI
value, providing an estimated noise floor value. Consequently, the RSSI
value is also approximate. This works but however, using actual noise floor
value will enable the reporting of the true RSSI value.
The firmware possesses the necessary data to determine the actual noise
floor. This data is provided to the host via the WMI event
WMI_PDEV_RSSI_DBM_CONVERSION_PARAMS_INFO_EVENTID, which includes the
runtime parameters needed for calculating the real noise floor in dBm. This
event is triggered by the firmware during channel changes, temperature
offset adjustments, and hardware chainmask modifications.
Add support to handle and parse this WMI event. Use the received values to
calculate and store the noise floor value and use at the required places.
