b43: N-PHY: use more bits for offset in RSSI calibration

Browse Source 
When calculating "offset" for final RSSI calibration we're using numbers
bigger than s8 can hold. We have for example:
offset[j] = 232 - poll_results[j];
formula. If poll_results[j] is small enough (it usually is) we treat
number's bit as a sign bit. For example 232 - 1 becomes:
0xE8 - 0x1 = 0xE7, which is not 231 but -25.

This code was introduced in e0c9a0219a
and caused stability regression on some cards, for ex. BCM4322.
