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.
