I'm seeing the same thing when using loader.conf. But, if I use
rc.conf's kld_list, then both the module and the firmware loads fine.
Here's a `dmesg | grep iwlwifi` when using loader.conf:

https://hardenedbsd.org/~shawn/2021-12-27_iwlwifi-01.txt

I'm also seeing a kernel panic when trying to connect to my FreeBSD /
HardenedBSD based wireless AP (which also means I'm using the kld_list
method for iwlwifi). Picture of panic here:

https://hardenedbsd.org/~shawn/2021-12-27_iwlwifi_panic-01.jpg

More information about the panic:

(wlan0 -> iwlwifi0). I set up lagg failover with wlan0 and the
laptop's em0.

Here's my relevant rc.conf lines:

==== BEGIN rc.conf ====
cloned_interfaces="lagg0"
wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA"

ifconfig_lagg0="up laggproto failover laggport em0 laggport wlan0 DHCP"
ifconfig_lagg0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
==== END rc.conf ====

My laptop is running HardenedBSD 14-CURRENT/amd64, commit
d915dda7bdbc369ba20cd6bbee8828fdf518e01d. The last FreeBSD HEAD
commit, then, would be 989453da0589b8dc5c1948fd81f986a37ea385eb.

The PNP info for iwlwifi0:

dev.iwlwifi.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x8086 device=0x06f0 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0x4070 class=0x028000
