mwl(4) depends on non-existant mwlfw_fw (mwlfw doesn't implement mwlfw_fw)

Hi,

I was trying to help someone on IRC with a card that should be
supported by the mwl(4) driver, but it seems it's broken: mwlfw(4)
doesn't implement mwlfw_fw which if_mwl depends on
("MODULE_DEPEND(mwl, mwlfw_fw, 1, 1, 1);").

Should it be trying to load mw88W8363fw dynamically instead?

The same error appears to be in malo(4) too - and neither mwlfw(4) or
malofw(4) are installed during an installkernel despite mwl(4) and
malo(4) being installed.

malo(4) should also be updated to list "device malofw" in the top
section. malofw(4) doesn't exist yet.
