From: Bhagavathi Perumal S <bperumal@codeaurora.org>

This patch provides support for users to get ack signal
strength of last transmitted by introducing new attribute
'NL80211_STA_INFO_ACK_SIGNAL'.

Then we really should make that part of the NL80211_CMD_PROBE_CLIENT
response, no?

If user wants to get instant RSSI for the station which is ideal for 
long time, user can sent null frame and get RSSI form the ack of that 
null frame.

I have taken reference from 'NL80211_STA_INFO_SIGNAL_AVG'.

No real objection to the patch itself, but you should say *why* you
need this, and I'm not really sure I see much point in having the
signal strength of the very last ACK frame?

At least provide reasoning so other drivers can decide whether to
implement it or not.

more like s8, really.
