I've bisected it down to commit 3edaf3e61fda3aa9ff8d38445bf92f2bec23bf63:
"mac80211: manage AP netdev carrier state"

I verified it against compat-wireless-2012-04-17 (latest OpenWRT
mac80211 package) and after reverting this on top of the other patch
AP mode works again for my rt305x-based APs.

So these are my patches now (The net/wireless/reg.c patch still has
two debug printks in it):
