Stop trying to do your own stuff and use the full compat layer from batman-adv
or LEDE (mac80211 + small batman-adv compat layer). We will not integrate any
compat stuff in net/batman-adv/ because this is the part which is part of the
official kernel [1]. So if you don't want to use the compat stuff then please
don't complain about having build errors.
And in case somebody wonders: Yes, he acknowledged on IRC that he is not
using the compat stuff from batman-adv to build against OpenWrt (without the
OpenWrt package!!!!).
Kind regards,
Sven
[1] the official kernel doesn't require compat and doesn't want it
