These devices don't have unique MAC addresses with OpenWrt/LEDE at the moment
(see #993).

ath10k has to switch the regulatory domain when switching the default
country when ATH_USER_REGD is enabled. This is for example important when
switching from country US (FCC) to DE (ETSI). The ath implementation will
use ath_reg_dyn_country_user_allow to check if this is allowed.

Unfortunately, this function always seems to return false to
ath_reg_notifier_apply even when ATH_USER_REGD is enabled. But it must
actually always accept the requests from the user (when ATH_USER_REGD is
enabled) to correctly set the conformance test limits in the ath10k binary
blob.

Not doing it will sometimes allow too high transmit powers on edge channels
for correctly calibrated devices outside their default regulatory domain.

Closes #844

gluon-core: add function to gluon.util that returns all active mesh-devices

Fixes #961

gluon-core: add get_mesh_devices(uconn) to gluon.util which will return all devices being up and having proto = gluon_mesh

Backport a few patches to allow sysupgrades on mmcblk and similar block
devices.

The default abbreviation length depends on factors like user configuration,
git version and number of repository objects. Use unabbreviates IDs to make
patch generation more reproducible.

Switch from batman-adv v14/v15 debugfs to netlink

Fixes #975

The batadv debugfs requires large memory blocks to write the text debug
tables. This is inefficient for large tables like the global translation
table or the originators table.

The memory requirement can be reduced by using netlink. It copies smaller
packets in a binary format to the userspace program. The respondd module of
gluon-mesh-batman-adv-core can therefore parse larger originator tables
without causing an OOM on systems which are tight on memory.

This lifts batman-adv and alfred to version 2016.4.
