I could be wrong, but shouldn't the destructor be replaced with free_netdevice
and the batadv_softif_free (without the free_netdev) used as ndo_uninit? The
line you've changed should then be kept as free_netdevice.
At least this seems to be important when using rtnl_newlink() instead of the
legacy sysfs netdev stuff from batman-adv. rtnl_newlink() would also only call
free_netdevice and thus also not run batadv_softif_free. This seems to be only
fixable by calling ndo_uninit.
Kind regards,
Sven
