Description
Regarding the Cellular.RSSI documentation:
It has been reported that this API is not correct for Boron. In my experience, it seems that the CellularSignal.rssi value appears to be an integer representation of what CellularSignal.getStrenght() returns (percentage) rather than dB. I think this is acceptable but should be noted in the documentation.

Update the documentation to clarify the value's meaning for Boron, with the issue resolved when the API description accurately distinguishes the reported units.
