The old sysfs configuration interface was frowned upon by other kernel
developers. To work around this problem, the sysfs files were replaced by
the batadv generic netlink family. Still they are currently available
as alternative interface.
These files cannot be removed immediately because userspace tools might
still depend on it. Instead schedule for its removal in 2021. To aid
userspace tool developers, warn them when these files are still accessed
and provide an option to build batman-adv without sysfs support.
Kind regards,
Sven
