I am now pretty sure that this is the true cause of
Here is a patch to increase the polling timeout for rtl8xxxu firmware
startup.
This patch now applies cleanly to Jes Sorensen's rtl8xxxu-devel tree
(86c89dd4782030c4f9e0c82424a8b92f9fdb35aa).
The patch to make this a module parameter was removed.

rtl8xxxu: Increase default
_MAX (1000) is
too short, and the MCU fails to start up as quickly as expected.
With a longer value (5000), the driver starts up consistently and
successfully after cold-boot.

Here are patches patch to increase the polling timeout for rtl8xxxu firmware
startup, and to make it configurable.
Resubmitting with changes per Julian Calaby's comments.
Dan Lenski (2):
rtl8xxxu: Increase default polling timeout for firmware startup
rtl8xxxu: Make polling timeout
This patch:
- increases the default value for the maximum number of polling loops to
wait for the rtl8xxxu MCU to start after the firmware is loaded (from
1000 to 5000)
- makes this a configurable module parameter
With RTL8723AU chipset, I frequently encounter "Firmware failed to start"
Here is the patch to increase the polling timeout for rtl8xxxu firmware
startup, and to make it configurable, as referred to in my previous message.
