They will automatically enabled when they are compiled in. For example the network coding part of batman-adv is by default disabled in the out-of-tree module but will be enabled when the code is compiled during the module build. But distributions like Debian just enable all features of the batman-adv kernel module and hope that more experimental features or features with possible negative effects have to be enabled using some runtime configuration interface. The network_coding feature can help in specific setups but also has drawbacks and is not disabled by default in the out-of-tree module. Disabling by default in the runtime config seems to be also quite sane. The bridge_loop_avoidance is the only feature which is disabled by default but may be necessary even in simple setups. Packet loops may even be created during the initial node setup when this is not enabled. This is different than STP on bridges because mesh is usually used on Adhoc WiFi. Having two nodes (by accident) in the same LAN segment and in the same mesh network is rather common in this situation.
