There's D57430 and D57431 still open that no one has reviewed so far.
You could try to apply them.
I expect I'll take a look at doing such later.
D57431 did not apply cleanly to the source code that pkgbase supplied in
/usr/src/sys/ (started from not having the prior one line patch you had
me test):
# git apply D57430.diff
# git apply D57431.diff
error: patch failed: sys/compat/linuxkpi/common/src/linux_pci.c:342
error: sys/compat/linuxkpi/common/src/linux_pci.c: patch does not apply
Maybe just start with D57430 for now.
Okay I'll do that.
I'll go and rebase D57431, which addresses yet another problem there.
One other thing you could do for testing, which does not require
recompiling anything is adding:
devmatch_blacklist="if_rtw89"
to rc.conf and see if things then at least boot.
I got the system to boot via using an older kernel for long enough to
install the pkg that fwget -n had listed. Rebooting with the upstream
pkgbase kernel that had previously failed then worked.
That may not be equivalent to your blacklist test but may be useful
information.
It is even better as what you say is "if the driver loads correctly then
there is no problem; if firmware is missing and driver fails to load
we panic".
Time to get these reviews sorted and in...
