These three patches successfully stopped panics and memory leaks for
me, tested during some extended IRC sessions. Thanks Antonio!
This patch adds them to the OpenWrt routing feed patches directory for batman-adv.

+Subject: [PATCH 8/9] batman-adv: set mac_header when forging an ARP reply in
+ DAT
+
+In the TX path we now have functions that rely on the
+skb->mac_header field. DAT does not set such field when
+creating its own ARP packets thus leading to wrong memory
+access.
+
+Fix it by always setting the mac_header after having forged
+the ARP packet.

+Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH maint 1/2] batman-adv: fix TT CRC computation
+ by ensuring byte order
+
+From: Antonio Quartulli <antonio(a)open-mesh.com>
+
+When computing the CRC on a 2byte variable the order of
+the bytes obviously alters the final result. This means
+that computing the CRC over the same value on two archs
+having different endianess leads to different numbers.
+
+The global and local translation table CRC computation
+routine makes this mistake while processing the clients
+VIDs. The result is a continuous CRC mismatching between
+nodes having different endianess.
+
+Fix this by converting the VID to Network Order before
+processing it. This guarantees that every node uses the same
+byte order.
