I always have two IPv6 addresses even though I have deactivated everything in the matter and have taken from the config what can this be?
br-lan Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr ********************************
inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: ********************************Scope:Link
inet6 addr: ******************************** Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:3596 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:2720 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:425951 (415.9 KiB) TX bytes:357095 (348.7 KiB)
You edited the first part of your IP (which helps to see what type they are) but I'm guessing one is a fe80: (link local) and the other one is something like fdxx: etc.
Both are locally configured ones.

Scope:Link
Both are link local addresses, nothing else you can do there.

I have completely disabled ipv6 then even local ones should not be awarded anymore?

Fully disabling ipv6 is not a supported configuration anymore. The link local addresses are not causing any harm to be there.
I'd say that this isn't considered to be a supported configuration anymore. You'll likely have the most success with building custom images and globally disabled IPv6 capability.
