Re: [PATCH] batman-adv: remove unnecessary type castings

Hi,

we neither received your mail via the mailing list nor our private mail 
servers. It seems your mail setup is broken:

    Apr 21 15:48:37 dvalin postfix/smtpd[10256]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[2400:dd01:100f:2:72e2:84ff:fe10:5f45]: 450 4.7.1 <ha.nfschina.com>: Helo command rejected: Host not found; from=[off-list ref] to=[off-list ref] proto=ESMTP helo=<ha.nfschina.co>


And when I test it myself, it is also not working:

    $ dig @8.8.8.8 ha.nfschina.com

    ; <<>> DiG 9.16.27-Debian <<>> @8.8.8.8 ha.nfschina.com

Please fix this before sending patches out.


But the kernel test bot already demonstrated why this patch is not a good 
idea. You can improve it and resent it but I will not accept it in this form.


Kind regards,
