batman-adv: ABI: Mark sysfs files as deprecated
The sysfs files are replaced by the batadv generic netlink family. The old sysfs configuration interface was frowned upon by other kernel developers. But the files cannot be removed immediately because userspace tools might still depend on it. Instead schedule for its removal in 2021.

+Contact: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
+Description:
+ The /sys/class/net/<iface>/batman-adv/mesh_iface file

+description:
+ Defines the throughput value to be used by B.A.T.M.A.N. V
+ when estimating the link throughput using this interface.
+ If the value is set to 0 then batman-adv will try to
+ estimate the throughput by itself.
