Can you try the attached patch without applying any of the previous patches ?
This patch is meant to fix the compat issue without harming any functionality 
and could be included in the next release.

Cheers,
Marek

Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: make netdev_set_master() generic for kernels
 older than 2.6.39

batman-adv calls netdev_master_upper_dev_link() which is replaced with with
netdev_set_master() for kernels older than 3.9 via compat.h.
Prior to 2.6.39 netdev_set_master() contained Linux bonding calls needed to
setup bonding devices. Calling this function from batman-adv leads to
unexpected behavior when current batman-adv versions are used on these
older kernels.

To fix the situation compat.h now ships its own implementation of
netdev_set_master() for kernels older than 2.6.39.
