The following commit has been merged in the master branch: commit 88ffc7d0e2cdcd3d8ba603d51b81a65712899c6c Author: Sven Eckelmann sven.eckelmann@open-mesh.com Date: Fri Sep 30 15:21:00 2016 +0200

batman-adv: Return non-const ptr in batadv_getlink_net

The returned net_namespace of batadv_getlink_net may be used with functions that potentially modify the struct. Thus it must return the pointer as non-const like rtnl_link_ops::get_link_net does.
