Same issue here. I was able to workaround it with the downloaded package from https://archive.openwrt.org/releases/packages-21.02/arm_cortex-a9/base/

opkg remove hostapd-common --force-depends
opkg install hostapd-common_2020-06-08-5a8b3662-35_arm_cortex-a9.ipk --cache .

Once installed, restart the WiFi interfaces.
