Hi
I am mentioned in that ticket you linked. I've seen similar problems,
but I'm not positive that my situation wasn't just a hardware failure. I
will get in contact with that tribut person and work with him. Thanks
for bringing this to my attention.
Anyway, your problem is different. TP-Link uses proprietary
closed-source drivers. It's probably not even using hostapd or iw. It
probably requires something proprietary to make it work. It would not
surprise me if they had purposefully disabled non-TP-Link bridge clients.
This sounds like a TP-Link problem. There is likely nothing you can do
about it (except to use LEDE/OpenWRT instead).
Most different closed-source wireless implementations won't bridge with
each other. I don't even think 4-address bridging is a de-facto standard
yet, though it's getting there.
I think you are out of luck and will not be able to fix this.
As a tangential gripe, I don't like the term "WDS". I suggest "wireless
bridging" or "802.11 bridging" instead. "WDS" as a term should be
depreciated. WDS doesn't mean wireless bridging and wireless bridging
doesn't mean WDS. Reference:

I can see it connect to tplink router and disconnect, and repeat again
and again.
The only usefull log is below:
wlan0: deauthenticating from <MAC> by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)
tplink router can connect to another tplink router with WDS and 4 addr
mode. I can see the log;
WDS detected RootAP supported 4-addr.
There's also a openning ticket:
