commit ec3d75284c09bec9735e4b924638672cddda6ed4 Author: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Sun Mar 3 18:02:58 2019 +0100

batman-adv: ABI: Mark sysfs files as deprecated

The sysfs files are replaced by the batadv generic netlink family. The old sysfs configuration interface was frowned upon by other kernel developers. But the files cannot be removed immediately because userspace tools might still depend on it. Instead schedule for its removal in 2021.
