Subject: [PATCH 2/7] batman-adv: don't add loop detect macs to TT

From: Simon Wunderlich <simon.wunderlich@...n-mesh.com>

The bridge loop avoidance (BLA) feature of batman-adv sends packets to
probe for Mesh/LAN packet loops. Those packets are not sent by real
clients and should therefore not be added to the translation table (TT).
