Description

When using "batctl if" to get the interface status then this triggers the following deprecation warnings in dmesg:

[ 5856.277366] batman_adv: [Deprecated]: batctl (pid 5054) Use of sysfs file "iface_status".
[ 5856.277366] Use batadv genl family instead

Even though batctl v2019.2 supports netlink for the interface status it prefers the syfs version if available.

This is a regression introduced with batman-adv v2019.2 which happens as long as batman-adv is compiled with CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_SYSFS=y.

@Sven: Was it an accident to prefer sysfs over netlink for "batctl if" or were there some downsides of the netlink variant?

This was done on purpose for now. But we can also switch this behavior to avoid these warnings
