Hi Antonio
The problem with that is register_netdevice() is used to register the soft interface in batadv_softif_create(). Calling it after registrations would mean it needs to change netns. The default namespace might already have a bat0, so it is given the name bat1, but then gets moved to the target netns, and will keeps its name, unless there already is a bat1 interface. But people expect the newly created interface to be called bat0.
I think passing the namespace is correct, so the softif can be created in the correct place to start with.
