The sysfs support in batman-adv is deprecated since a while and will be removed completely next year.

All tools which were known to the batman-adv development team are supporting the batman-adv netlink interface since a while. Thus disabling CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_SYSFS by default should not cause problems on most systems. It is still possible to enable it in case it is still required in a specific setup.
