Register 0x06 (PHY_RSSI):
The PHY_RSSI register is a multi-purpose register that indicates FCS validity, provides
random numbers and shows the actual RSSI value.

RSSI
The result of the automated RSSI measurement is stored in register bits RSSI. The
value is updated every t
The read value is a number between zero and 28 indicating the received signal strength
as a linear curve on a logarithmic input power scale with a resolution of 3dB. An RSSI
value of zero indicates an RF input power of P
