From 42cdd521487f6509f52096fa08590f275073e81b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Sun, 3 Mar 2019 18:02:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
