I've read a little bit through the different descriptions and it sound good... for the reading situation. The problem is that it is nearly never clear that you control the behavior of batman-adv through that specific file. For example /sys/class/net/<iface>/batman-adv/mesh_iface - I think it is especially important for GregKH to see that it needed is now associated to the iface and we attach it to the mesh_iface through that file when he should give us some advice what virtual fs should be used for what kind of information.
Thanks for the review. Before writing these descriptions I looked up various examples that are available in the kernel tree. I had the feeling that our ABI docs are not too far off. But I know that this will not be enough to understand the meaning behind those settings which is why I created a wikipage explaining the connections between the various sysfs files. I intended to send this along with the sysfs ABI files: http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/tweaking-batman-adv
