v14 is not maintained anymore in the official batman-adv repositories. You may
instead try to contact the developers of the batman-adv-legacy [1] gluon fork.

Which batman-adv-dkms? I was maintaining a Debian package with that name but
this was dropped a long time ago... I think 2011 or so. But I would guess that
you want to add a patch to your "batman-adv-dkms" that patches batman-adv so
dkms is able to build it against your current kernel. Or get the patch
directly into your batman-adv v14 fork... But this is nothing Simon or I can
help you with because we stopped working on v14 and batman-adv-dkms years ago.
Most likely you are talking about gluon based batman-adv-dkms [2] package
which is also made by the batman-adv-legacy people. But these packages clearly
states that Matthias Schiffer <mschiffer@universe-factory.net> is responsible
for them (ok, he forgot to change it maintainer name in
debian/control.modules.in and didn't update the upstream addresses). So you
better contact him when you are using his forks. He most likely has complete
different ideas how this patch has to look like because he isn't interested in
getting it merged into the official Linux repository.
Kind regards,
Sven
