batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright info

2021-02-06T08:22:10+00:00

The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next) as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity regarding the publishing year. This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple "update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead. More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the SCM system. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Acked-by: Marek Lindner Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich

batman-adv: Use parentheses in function kernel-doc

2017-12-15T16:29:20+00:00

The documentation describing kernel-doc comments for functions ("How to format kernel-doc comments") uses parentheses at the end of the function name. Using this format allows to use a consistent style when adding documentation to a function and when referencing this function in a different kernel-doc section.

batman-adv: Add SPDX license identifier above copyright header

2017-12-15T16:22:45+00:00

The "Linux kernel licensing rules" require that each file has a SPDX license identifier as first line (and sometimes as second line). The FSFE REUSE practices [1] would also require the same tags but have no restrictions on the placement in the source file. Using the "Linux kernel licensing rules" is therefore also fulfilling the FSFE REUSE practices requirements at the same time.

batman-adv: Consolidate logging related functions

2016-06-30T08:29:43+00:00

There are several places in batman-adv which provide logging related functions. These should be grouped together in the log.* files to make them easier to find. Reported-by: Markus Pargmann Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich

batman-adv: Use bool as return type for boolean functions

2016-05-10T10:28:54+00:00

It is easier to understand that the returned value of a specific function doesn't have to be 0 when the functions was successful when the actual return type is bool. This is especially true when all surrounding functions with return type int use negative values to return the error code.
