rt2800lib: fix wrong -128dBm when signal is stronger than -12dBm
This patch correct the type of variables containing the rssi values read from the rxwi. In function rt2800_agc_to_rssi() 3 variables (rssi0, rssi1, rss2) defined as int was assigned a 16bit signed values as unsigned. From a test with a hi-gain antenna I verified that the rxwi contains signed rssi values in the range -13/+81 (inclusive) with 0 as an error condition. In case of negative values a condition is triggered and the function return -128dBm while the signal is at its maximum. This patch correct the cast so negative values are not treated as very high positive values (ex. -13 does not become 243).
