Please don't forget that batctl's tcpdump+wireshark also requires support
for parsing it. Most likely, this was not added yet to not confuse third
parties in case the packet format changes.
I have now acked the various patches and have queued them up for submission to
net-next. But it would be good when Simon also checks them.
And we must also first release 2023.2 (including submission for net +
net-next) before these patches can be added to the batman-adv repository.
Kind regards,
Sven
