Following code in wpa_supplicant is killing the accesspoint:

if (iface->hostapd_ctrl) {
char *cmd = "STOP_AP";
char buf[256];
int len = sizeof(buf);

wpa_s->hostapd = wpa_ctrl_open(iface->hostapd_ctrl);
if (!wpa_s->hostapd) {
wpa_printf(MSG_ERROR, "\nFailed to connect to hostapd\n");
return -1;
}
if (hostapd_stop(wpa_s) < 0)
return -1;
}

wpa_supplicant.c - wpa_supplicant_init_iface() is killing the AP. Why
would I need a kernel change to get this code removed from hostapd? I
don't see how the used kernel would change the behavior in
wpa_supplicant
