This also includes such events like NETDEV_POST_INIT which has no valid kobject according to v2.6.32-rc3-13-g7ffbe3f. This would create an oops in that situation. It is enough to create the batman_if only on NETDEV_REGISTER events because we will also receive those events for devices which already existed when we registered the notifier call.
