I think in the short term it would be a good idea to identify what's
missing in the mac80211 backport support and make patches for it.
You should also rebase those on top of backports.git and submit them
upstream.
For a long term solution, you guys should probably start pushing for
full batman-adv integration in kernel backports. Might be useful for
increasing adoption of the latest stuff even outside of OpenWrt.
