The batadv debugfs requires large memory blocks to write the text debug
tables. This is inefficient for large tables like the global translation
table or the originators table.
The memory requirement can be reduced by using netlink. It copies smaller
packets in a binary format to the userspace program. The respondd module of
gluon-mesh-batman-adv-core can therefore parse larger originator tables
without causing an OOM on systems which are tight on memory.

MAC and IP addresses are switched. This makes the gluon-client-bridge
package more useful for different routing protocols that don't need a
unique address on the client bridge.
As a side effect, gluon-radvd is now using the next-node address, which had
been considered before, but was dismissed to avoid having gluon-radvd
depend on gluon-next-node and gluon-mesh-batman-adv. This will be useful
for announcing default routes via gluon-radvd.
One downside is that this introduces a minor dependency on batman-adv in
gluon-respondd: the hotplug script that checked for the client interface
before will now check for local-node. This doesn't really matter: for mesh
protocols without a local-node interface, the check will do nothing (which
makes sense, as there is no interface to bind to for mesh-wide respondd).
Because we unconditionally appended `-i br-client` to the command line of
respondd, it wasn't restarted when br-client changed state. Now, we use a
jsonfilter expression on the network.interface dump data, similar to how the
other interface names are generated, and only add the interface to the argument
list if it is up.
The assignment of the gpio_count and reg_base in ath79_gpio_output_select
takes care that only supported platforms can use ath79_gpio_output_select.
But the rebase of the patches after the last OpenWrt base update
accidentally added an extra check for the SoC which was missing support
soc_is_qca955x().

Some (possibly broken) bootloaders incorrectly initialize the at8033 phy.
This breaks auto-negotation on these SGMII devices. The mode has therefore
to be set back in to a valid configuration by Linux.
