As of kernel 4.12, this driver doesn't work. However, the in-tree rtl8192cu driver has started working properly for my USB dongle, and even supports AP mode. I recommend trying that before possibly checking out the master branch with an older kernel. Whether you'd still need the hostapd-rtl871xdrv patches, I'm not sure.
