I cannot speak for WDS or 4addr mode, but you can use mesh for this if
your driver/hw supports it (ath9k does).  You can run hostapd on the
AP virtual interface, bridged with a mesh interface.  On the mesh interface,
you can run wpa_supplicant with key_mgmt=SAE so that the mesh links will be
encrypted.
