cfa55c6d47 batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright info
The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next)
as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned
in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity
regarding the publishing year.

This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright
holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple
"update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not
well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright
year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead.
More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the
SCM system.

68a600de9a batman-adv: Use includes instead of fwdecls
While it can be slightly beneficial for the build performance to use
forward declarations instead of includes, the handling of them together
with changes in the included headers makes it unnecessary complicated and
fragile. Just replace them with actual includes since some parts (hwmon,
..) of the kernel even request avoidance of forward declarations and net/
is mostly not using them in *.c file.

e2d0d35b5b batman-adv: Add gateway mesh genl configuration
The mesh/soft-interface can optimize the handling of DHCP packets. Instead
of flooding them through the whole mesh, it can be forwarded as unicast to
a specific gateway server. The originator which injects the packets in the
mesh has to select (based on sel_class thresholds) a responsible gateway
server. This is done by switching this originator to the gw_mode client.
The servers announce their forwarding bandwidth (download/upload) when the
gw_mode server was selected.

The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
configuration of this feature using the attributes:

* u8 BATADV_ATTR_GW_MODE (0 == off, 1 == client, 2 == server)
* u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_DOWN (in 100 kbit/s steps)
* u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_UP (in 100 kbit/s steps)
* u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_SEL_CLASS

8b84cc4fb5 batman-adv: Use inline kernel-doc for enum/struct
The inline kernel-doc comments make it easier to keep changes to the
struct/enum synchronized with the documentation of the it. And it makes it
easier for larger structures like struct batadv_priv to read the
documentation inside the code.

7db7d9f369 batman-adv: Add SPDX license identifier above copyright header
The "Linux kernel licensing rules" require that each file has a SPDX
license identifier as first line (and sometimes as second line).

The FSFE REUSE practices [1] would also require the same tags but have no
restrictions on the placement in the source file. Using the "Linux kernel
licensing rules" is therefore also fulfilling the FSFE REUSE practices
requirements at the same time.

0b5ecc6811 batman-adv: add throughput override attribute to hard_ifaces
This attribute is exported to user space to disable the link
throughput auto-detection by setting a fixed value.
The throughput override value is used when batman-adv is
computing the link throughput towards a neighbour.

If the value is set to 0 then batman-adv will try to detect
the throughput by itself.

1e2c2a4fe4 batman-adv: Add required includes to all files
The header files could not be build indepdent from each other. This is
happened because headers didn't include the files for things they've used.
This was problematic because the success of a build depended on the
knowledge about the right order of local includes.

Also source files were not including everything they've used explicitly.
Instead they required that transitive includes are always stable. This is
problematic because some transitive includes are not obvious, depend on
config settings and may not be stable in the future.

The order for include blocks are:

 * primary headers (main.h and the *.h file of a *.c file)
 * global linux headers
 * required local headers
 * extra forward declarations for pointers in function/struct declarations

The only exceptions are linux/bitops.h and linux/if_ether.h in packet.h.
This header file is shared with userspace applications like batctl and must
therefore build together with userspace applications. The header
linux/bitops.h is not part of the uapi headers and linux/if_ether.h
conflicts with the musl implementation of netinet/if_ether.h. The
maintainers rejected the use of __KERNEL__ preprocessor checks and thus
these two headers are only in main.h. All files using packet.h first have
to include main.h to work correctly.

414254e342 batman-adv: tvlv - gateway download/upload bandwidth container
Prior to this patch batman-adv read the advertised uplink bandwidth
from userspace and compressed this information into a single byte
called "gateway class".
Now the download & upload bandwidth information is sent as-is. No
userspace change is necessary since the sysfs API always allowed
to specify a bandwidth.

84d5e5e003 batman-adv: Prefix gateway-common non-static functions with batadv_
batman-adv can be compiled as part of the kernel instead of an module. In that
case the linker will see all non-static symbols of batman-adv and all other
non-static symbols of the kernel. This could lead to symbol collisions. A
prefix for the batman-adv symbols that defines their private namespace avoids
such a problem.
