have you considered, to simplify backwards compatibility, to keep proto "batadv" as it currently is (hardif) and naming "batadv_mesh" the new proto?
It was one of the goals to *not* name the batadv hardif interface proto "batadv". And I wanted to have the batman-adv interface proto named "batadv" because this is the rtnl kind string. So you actually create batman-adv meshifs using:
ip link add dev bat0 type batadv
But we can call this proto also "batadv_meshif" if there is a strong preference for this name.
