Right, there's a difference here, a 'reboot' of the card is done only when if the interface is brought up. The device status from the USB subsystem is used to handle this - it works on x86. On your platform, I think that a full reboot is required even when doing just a simple load/unload cycle. I'll come up with a patch to test this. Thanks for the detailed log.
