The sysfs code in batman-adv was changed to print a deprecated warning when sysfs files are accessed. The `batctl if` call would therefore cause warnings like this in the kernel log:
batman_adv: [Deprecated]: batctl (pid 18540) Use of sysfs file "iface_status". Use batadv genl family instead
It is now appropriate to try the generic netlink BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIF request first to get the status of the interface before falling back to sysfs.
