Add AVG_RSSI report to the signal_poll command. This will work if
kernel supports NL80211_STA_INFO_SIGNAL_AVG, otherwise a default value
(0) will be returned.

I'm not in love with such a behavior. Back in WEXT days various
drivers returned "interesting" things if they didn't knew the true
value. In the end you couldn't rely on anything.

I'd suggest that you create the returned string dynamically. And if
you have an average RSSI, then you append/prepend AVG_RSSI=%d to it.
If you don't know the value, then don't append it.
