There seems to be a race condition in lbs_thread().

At line 582:
 582                 if (!priv->fw_ready)
 583                         continue;

The fw_ready is 0, so you never get the chance to execute the FUNC_INIT command.

 617                 /* Execute the next command */
 618                 if (!priv->dnld_sent && !priv->cur_cmd)
 619                         lbs_execute_next_command(priv);


Could you try the following change?
