Merge tag 'batadv-next-for-davem-20160822' of git://git.open-mesh.org/linux-merge

Simon Wunderlich says:

====================
This feature patchset includes the following changes:

 - place kref_get near usage of referenced objects, separate patches
   for various used objects to improve readability and maintainability
   by Sven Eckelmann (18 patches)

 - Keep batadv net device when all hard interfaces disappear, to
   improve situations where tools currently use work arounds, by
   Sven Eckelmann

 - Add an option to disable debugfs support to minimize footprint when
   userspace uses netlink only, by Sven Eckelmann
====================
