The commit bac7733d06fa ("batman-adv: fix splat on disabling an interface") fixed a warning but at the same time broke the rtnl function add_slave for devices which were temporarily removed.
batadv_softif_slave_add requires soft_iface of and hard_iface to be NULL before it is allowed to be enslaved. But this resetting of soft_iface to NULL in batadv_hardif_disable_interface was removed with the aforementioned commit.

Linus, feel free to propose a patch to remove the "|| hard_iface->soft_iface" when you think it is safe and you've tested that it works
