Can you try to redo this with iw instead of iwconfig? Try this:

ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether de:ad:be:ef:c0:fe
iw wlan0 set type ibss
ifconfig wlan0 up
iw wlan0 ibss join brady123

iwconfig is obsolete and if you use it, there is some wrapper code and
other things happening, so it's more difficult to follow.  It should
still work, of course, but if you use iw, I'll be able to help you more
easily.

This seems to be the correct version to use with the latest upstream
code.

For some reason the firmware is not able to start the IBSS role.

Could you try this again with the iw commands I mentioned above and
enable debugging on the wl12xx module with debug_level 0x13800?
