I only see one way this could happen, with a select few drivers.
Looks like the kernel has two possible attributes for the signal
stength based on what the driver sets 'signal_type' to. IWD only
handles SIGNAL_DBM, but SIGNAL_UNSPEC is also possible.
 
What hardware did you see this on? Based on what I'm seeing in the
kernel it is probably one of zd1211rw, at76c50x-usb, adm8211, or
rtl8180?

I'm gonna guess this never got handled because the nl80211 docs say
this attribute is "unspecified units"...

Thanks,
James
