If that's for the adhoc0 interface directly then this seems to be
a wireless driver issue and not a batman-adv one :(.

Hm, if I'm not mistaken then the OM2P-HS should have an Atheros AR9285
chipset. So an ath9k driver which many people use in adhoc mode
for meshing.

Not a "requirement for the mesh to work", afaik. But when a MAC
address is self-generated, then it should have the second lowest bit set:

Not sure, maybe you just hit a bad OpenWRT revision? Maybe give
the new LEDE release [*] or a newer OpenWRT version a try?
