NAck. This is absolutely wrong - the last one is the "STOP" info. With your
patch, it would sometimes (action != BATADV_UEV_DEL) not have the stop NULL.
See also the second parameter in this for loop on line

We can discuss that this can be written in a better way. See
https://patchwork.open-mesh.org/project/b.a.t.m.a.n./patch/1403982781.9064.33.camel@joe-AO725/
(also the remark from Antonio).
Fixes: 0fa4c30d710d ("batman-adv: Make sysfs support optional")
Even this Fixes would be wrong. The code is there since commit
c6bda689c2c9 ("batman-adv: add wrapper function to throw uevent in
userspace").
But even then, this would not fix anything but just be a cleanup.
