Please don't top post as it's hard to track the thread.

More specifically, IBRSSI is obtained from packet's L-STF portion and
MTK HW PD (packet detection) will take it as a reference. (with
variation more or less)

As for RCPI which is calculated from packet's data portion. The other
MTK chipsets may use IBRSSI as their baseband couldn't report RCPI.
