BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG is using debugfs files for the debugging log. So it depends on DEBUG_FS which is missing as dependency in the Kconfig file.

What if somebody does not want to bloat the kernel with debug_fs but still wants to run batman-adv? (i.e. on a very constrained embedded unit)
With this patch this would not be possible anymore..
It is still possible, it just adds a dependency for BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG, the log which holds the verbose information. This is exported in debug fs as far as I could see, so it is not usable anyway when DEBUG_FS is not enabled as all debugfs function calls will be noops in that case.
