The longterm stable kernels 4.4.x and 4.9.x were missing the linux/prandom.h for a long time but the commit c0842fbc1b18 ("random32: move the pseudo-random 32-bit definitions to prandom.h") was recently backported. Due to this change, it was no longer possible for batman-adv to find the prandom_u32_max definition. This resulted in a build error:
net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c:284:18: error: undefined identifier 'prandom_u32_max' net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c:292:43: error: undefined identifier 'prandom_u32_max' net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c: In function ‘batadv_iv_ogm_emit_send_time’: net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c:284:11: error: implicit declaration of function ‘prandom_u32_max’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] msecs += prandom_u32_max(2 * BATADV_JITTER);
