I don't think I would recommend people to reverse the commit that made kernel reject invalid wlan0 mode in the bridge in general. It should be possible to reorder network configuration to work with it and if really not, reverting that change is reasonable only for a device that works as an AP and uses bridging. Alternatively, whoever needs hostapd 0.6.x for whatever reason could obviously also backport the hostapd patch for bridge setup.
