Thanks for the patches. Please drop the "metux IT consult" from the

This patches does not build. Please redo it more carefully.

provide a cover letter, even if it only contains a couple of sentences
and separate the patches for bluetooth and batman-adv out as stand
alone patches, so the respective maintainers can pick them up.
