Subject: [PATCH 1/4] batman-adv: fix speedy join for DAT cache replies

From: Antonio Quartulli <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2015 23:12:12 +0800

From: Simon Wunderlich <[email-masked]>

DAT Cache replies are answered on behalf of other clients which are not
connected to the answering originator. Therefore, we shouldn't add these
clients to the answering originators TT table through speed join to
avoid bogus entries.
