Removing FUNC_INIT could break things in some scenarios.
Could you please test the following case?

1. insmod liberates -> download firmware, send FUNC_INIT, ...
2. rmmod libertas -> send FUNC_SHUTDOWN command to firmware; BT is still working.
3. insmod libertas -> skip firmware downloading, send FUNC_INIT, ...

If FUNC_INIT is removed, I don't expect step 3 to work.

Thanks,
Bing
