[media] s5h1411: Calculate signal strength shown as percentage from SNR up to 35dB

Browse Source 
As done first in lgdt330x.c, calculate signal strength from SNR up to 35dB
Even though the SNR can go higher than 35dB, there is some comfort factor
in having a range of strong signals that can show at 100%
