I can try some printks on the kernel side if it toggles the WiFi reset/power enable gpios differntly. It looks like something's different on initialization when booting the kernel. WiFi works fine for extended periods of time after the hard power cycle. But when rebooting, it fails. Adding to the weirdness factor may be the fact that WiFi is not connected via PMIC, so it gets power almost directly from the battery. So kernel may not be doing the WiFi reset properly on boot (which is fine right after the hard power cycle, but leaves the WiFi in unknown state on subsequent reboots).
