The namespace pollution of the batman-adv code needs to improve,

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.
I aggree, but would like to like to have a shorter prefix batadv_. I know that
you said "or similar" but there are still some developers that fear your
response to a patch that only adds the prefix batadv_ instead of the longer
version.
Could you please approve or disapprove this proposal.
Thanks,
