Honestly, I don't know what is this file for. I don't understand
netifd & wireless well at all. I asked for help in the
Request for any netifd wireless documentation
e-mail thread, but ppl who know /things/ ignored me.

In my case /var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf is getting generated by the
netifd-wireless.sh from the following place:
http://git.openwrt.org/?p=project/netifd.git;a=blob;f=scripts/netifd-wireless.sh;hb=HEAD
In the above you can see that "psk" uses CCMP by default. This is how
Felix decided to implement it.

Felix: could you help me/us this time, please? Could you describe how
this hostapd config helpers work? Which of them are used and which are
not?

psk+tkip
