Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 1ffde69 upstream.

This reverts commit aa11bbf.
This commit was causing connection issues and is not needed
if IWL_MVM_RS_RSSI_BASED_INIT_RATE is set to false by default.

Regardless of the issues mentioned above, this patch added the
following WARNING:
