Yes, it should work just fine, you should set gw_mode=master in the
correspondent batman-adv gateway, but turn its dhcp server off.

So, when dhcp packets get to that node, it will naturally relay them
over br-lan and they will reach the non-batman-adv router.

That setup is more typical than what you might think of :)

(we have used it this way in at least 4 or 5 different cases)

cheers!
