This sounds quite familiar. There was a patch applied to this driver which 
fixed an incorrect ref counting issue in the power down routines. which 
would obviously manifest it's when you try to power the device back up.

Don't know whether this is your particular bug but worth a look
https://code-review.phablet.ubuntu.com/gitweb?p=CyanogenMod/android_hardware_ti_wlan.git;a=commitdiff;h=855a27f7d6c88dbfa948411c7f1254be886f6b13
 

I assume this patch is also in TI official project repos which are located 
here https://git.ti.com/wilink8-wlan ( I think ) 

Hope that helps
