PS1, Line 1349: rxlev2dbm(mrc->rxlev)
> RXLEV is the GSM mnemonic for a value that is not normalized to  0 dBm but to -110 dBm. […]
in handover configuration, logging and vty outputs, we consistently use the term "RXLEV" and usually print the negative dBm value (based on -110dBm), indicated by adding a "dBm" unit in the printout. In some places we may still print the actual on-the-wire rxlev value (0..63); this is also used in handover tests (that we got from jolly).

I'm not familiar with the term RSSI, but from what i found it seems to be the correct term for that negative dBm representation.

But, we use "rxlev" as label everywhere in osmo-bsc, and either we stick with that here, or we change all of osmo-bsc to use "rssi" instead, including VTY commands -- i do not see us doing that.

The discussion on this trivial patch goes a bit out of proportion, should we just abandon this?
