According to the patch description, following patch needs to be applied before 
adding this changes:

You can find the patch at 
https://lore.kernel.org/batman/?q=patchid:8d01950de12c8f4715e9f4723a0b6f1c349e6a84

And in this patch ("batman-adv: stop caching unowned originator pointers in 
BAT IV") removes the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV part.
