Merge branch 'batman-hdlc'
Andrew Lunn says: ==================== Allow BATMAN to use hdlc-eth interfaces BATMAN works over Ethernet like interfaces. hdlc-eth provides the need requirements. However, hdlc devices are often created as raw hdlc devices, which batman cannot use, and are then be transmuted into other types using sethdlc(1). Have the HDLC code emit NETDEV_*_TYPE_CHANGE events when the type changes, and have BATMAN react on these events. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
