driver_nl80211 does not compile

[Nick]

I wanted to update the OpenWrt hostapd version to the newest git 
version. I encountered following error:

>   ../src/drivers/driver_nl80211.c: In function 'get_sta_handler':
>   ../src/drivers/driver_nl80211.c:7474:63: error: 'NLA_S8' undeclared

As a workaround I removed the corresponding lines, however, this is not 
an acceptable solution:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/656eac04092bddf226f49dc81b3b4b9582e609d2/package/network/services/hostapd/patches/180-nl80211-fix-compiling.patch
Is there a proper fix available?
