The namespace pollution of the batman-adv code needs to improve, and I'm putting my foot down starting with this change.
If you have a static function which is therefore private to a source file, name it whatever you want.
But once it gets exported out of that file, you have to give it an appropriate name. Probably with a "batman_adv_" prefix or similar.
I aggree, but would like to like to have a shorter prefix batadv_. I know that you said "or similar" but there are still some developers that fear your response to a patch that only adds the prefix batadv_ instead of the longer version.
batadv_ is fine.
