I think it will work if you manually add it to the bridge after the
device in wpa_s is up (although it would be nicer to do it differently.)
Here's a snippet from a script I have to set up a mesh AP (hostapd.conf
references the bridge device) -- sleep 5 is not great but it worked for
me:
ip addr flush $iface
ip link set $iface down
ip link set addr $mesh_mac dev $iface
iw dev $iface set type mp
ip link set $iface up
wpa_supplicant -dd -i $iface -c wpa_s.conf >wpas.log 2>&1 &
sleep 5
brctl addif $br_iface $iface
ip addr add $meship/24 dev $br_iface
ip link set $br_iface up
hostapd -dd hostapd.conf >hostapd.log 2>&1 &
