        I have tried t bring up the ap interface with iw / hostapd,

                after joining the mesh.

                When I start the second interface, rtnetlink responds
                with
                device or resource busy.


        If you give more details of your steps, people may help you more.
        Btw, did you create a 2nd interface on the same radio and
        change the mac address?


    Yes,  I changed the mac of the 2nd interface:

    The mesh setup:

    > brctl addbr mesh-bridge
    > iw phy0 interface add wlan0 type mp mesh_id my_mesh
    > iw wlan0 set freq 5500 80 5530
    > ip link set dev wlan0 up
    > iw wlan0 mesh join my_mesh
    > brctl addif  mesh-bridge mesh0

Are you sure this configuration is what you're using?
there is no way to use DFS channels on mesh via iw at this moment.
and mesh id on brctl addif is different from interface add.

    The ap interface:

    > iw dev wlan0 interface add virtual_ap type __ap
    > ip link set dev virtual_ap address 04:f0:21:1b:7b:48
    > hostapd -B -dd hostapd.conf

hostapd also does not allow interface to use DFS channels without country_code parameter.

    I think mesh and AP channel frequency + width need to match. Try
    joining mesh after brining up AP and he should adopt AP's channel
    configuration. Or make AP VHT80 as well.


This is good thing to try out.
But as long as you're configuration is correct such as channel number and interface name, your steps should work.

    the  hostapd config:

    interface=virtual_ap
    #ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
    driver=nl80211
    ssid=infra
    hw_mode=a
    channel=100
    ht_capab=[HT40+]
    ieee80211n=1
    ieee80211ac=1
    vht_oper_chwidth=1
    vht_oper_centr_freq_seg0_idx=106
    bridge=mesh-bridge

    The 2nd interface is not running.  (device or resource busy)
    What I do not understand is, that according to
    http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2016-September/008374.html
    <http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2016-September/008374.html>
    mesh + ap seems possible, even with some stock firmware versions.
