Staging: batman-adv: Make hop_penalty configurable via sysfs
When having a mixed topology of both very mobile and rather static
nodes, you are usually best advised to set the originator interval on
all nodes to a level best suited for the most mobile node.
However, if most of the nodes are rather static, this can create a lot
of undesired overhead as a trade-off then. If setting the interval too
low on the static nodes, a mobile node might be chosen as a router for
too long, not switching away from it fast enough because of its
mobility and the low frequency of ogms of static nodes.
Exposing the hop_penalty is especially useful for the stated scenario: A
static node can keep the default originator interval, a mobile node can
select a quicker one resulting in faster route updates towards this
mobile node. Additionally, such a mobile node could select a higher hop
penalty (or even set it to 255 to disable acting as a router for other
nodes) to make it less desirable, letting other nodes avoid selecting
this mobile node as a router.
