I think, we are not skipping the basic initialization:
original flow:
PID_1: mwifiex_usb_probe >>> "do driver initialization" >>> "download the firmware"
PID_2: mwifiex_usb_probe >>> "do driver initialization" >>> "do interface initialization" >>> "do firmware initialization"
new flow:
PID_1: mwifiex_usb_probe >>> "do driver initialization" >>> "download the firmware"
PID_2: mwifiex_usb_probe >>> "do interface initialization" >>> "do driver initialization" >>> "do firmware initialization"

It was before firmware initialization, in the existing driver( and the new change also follows this);

I don't think so; as per the above flow, things which we moved to init_if() were previously done in mwifiex_usb_dnld_fw(),
just before it return(for PID_2); FW initialization (mwifiex_init_fw()) happens after that;
