This is what the RFC is about (btw. I have a cleaner version of the Makefile
here in my HDD). It tries to keep the batman-adv stuff in net/batman-adv and
provides the compat and extra Makefile stuff in the root folder. You should be
able to do a diff of batman-adv:net/batman-adv + linux:net/batman-adv and see
no difference.
This means the person moving patches from batman-adv to net-next (or the other
way around) still has some occasional changes in the compat code outside of
net/batman-adv/ which he must removed (or added). But I hope it is still
helpful.
Kind regards,
Sven
