That's an OpenWrt specific bug that does not show up in upstream
hostapd/wpa_supplicant and as such, should not be fixed in hostap.git.
Instead, this should be fixed in the OpenWrt patch that causes the
issue:

package/network/services/hostapd/patches/460-wpa_supplicant-add-new-config-params-to-be-used-with.patch

That patch pulls in nl80211_copy.h into driver.h and as such, into
compilation of multiple files that should not have anything to do with
the nl80211 header. NL80211_* values must not be used in driver.h to
keep the interface clean and independent of driver interface specific
information.
