I don't think that the patch with the name avg_val was accepted, so this
patch has to replace tmpVal by pct_val, as you say in the subject line.

Also, the comment says:

/* <1> Showed on UI for user, in percentage. */

I still have the impression that the value calculated here is an average.
Total num is just incremented:

if (sqd->total_num++ >= PHY_LINKQUALITY_SLID_WIN_MAX)

while total_val is updated with a new value.
