Yes, it's with hostapd. With the nl80211 driver, hostapd will only add
the device to a bridge, rather than creating the bridge itself.
I'm using Debian Stretch, and my /etc/network/interfaces contains:
iface br0 inet manual
bridge-ports eth0.nnn
bridge-maxwait 0
iface eth0.224 inet manual
iface wlan0 inet manual
pre-up nmcli d set wlan0 managed no
hostapd /etc/hostapd/rmk-home.conf
and these are scripted to be brought up in the order: eth0.224, then
br0, then wlan0.
These are iMX6 Hummingboards - one is a Hummingboard2, the other is
a Hummingboard. Both have the 4330 device on, and both are running
the same firmware.

Interestingly, I've just checked another Hummingboard2 running in
hostapd mode (with a 4.13 kernel) which had been up for over a year
until I recently did some maintenance on it. It has a later firmware
and hasn't shown a problem.
brcmfmac: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: Firmware version = wl0: Jan 23 2013 17:47:32 version 5.90.195.114 FWID 01-f9e7e464
so I wonder if it's just that the firmware in the Debian package
(firmware-brcm80211) is outdated. Any ideas why distros don't
carry the 2013 firmware?
