Subject: [PATCH 08/16] batman-adv: tvlv - convert tt query packet to use tvlv unicast packets

From: Antonio Quartulli <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2013 21:32:46 +0200

From: Marek Lindner <[email-masked]>

Instead of generating TT specific packets the TVLV unicast API is used
to send translation table data.
