The namespace pollution of the batman-adv code needs to improve,
and I'm putting my foot down starting with this change.

If you have a static function which is therefore private to a
source file, name it whatever you want.

But once it gets exported out of that file, you have to give it
an appropriate name.  Probably with a "batman_adv_" prefix or
similar.

Otherwise, for one thing, if this code is statically built into
the tree it can conflict with symbol names elsewhere and break
the build.
