I don't think this is the way this argument was supposed to work. In
other words, it is more flexible and allows some interfaces to use
different configuration files as needed. In any case, there would need
to be a configuration file listed for each interface on the command line
even if they were to be the same file for more than one interface. For
example:

hostapd -i wlan0,wlan1,wlan2 a.conf b.conf a.conf

This would use a.conf configuration file for both wlan0 and wlan2 while
b.conf is used for wlan1.
