The sysfs code for the batman-adv/mesh_iface file was receiving a string of the batadv interface. This interface name was then provided to the code which shared sysfs+rtnetlink code for attaching an hard-interface to an batadv interface. The rtnetlink code was also using the (extracted) interface name from the ndo_add_slave callback to increase the shared code - even when it would have been more efficient to use the provided net_device object directly instead of searching it again (based on its name) in batadv_hardif_enable_interface.
But this indirect handling is no longer necessary because the sysfs code was dropped. There is now only a single code path which is using batadv_hardif_enable_interface.
