3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
- Drop changes to batadv_tt_global_dump_subentry()
May I ask, were there specific concerns for stable 3.16 kernel releases with this change?
It's not bothering me, but I'm currently wondering whether this could cause some confusion to users.
Regards, Linus

That function didn't exist in 3.16 (at least not under that name).

Ah, you're right, back then the netlink interface did not exist in batman-adv yet, only the debugfs one. batadv_tt_global_print_entry would be the equivalent function for debugfs. But not worth the effort now, in my opinion.
I'm fine with this proposed patch for 3.16 now. Thanks for the clarification! And I'm happy to see this patch backported.
