Im trying the same ting, AP mode with ath9k.
Im not an expert, but I have it working.
You could try to add this to your hostapd.conf:

1. If you are using the wifi interface in a bridge (lan/wifi), you have 
to add
    bridge=br0 to your config.

2. I cannot see that you have set any channel number, so add
    channel=6 or an other number to your config.

CRDA is for setting allowed channels/power in kernel userspace for your 
country.
