Description

iwlwifi: enforce FreeBSD specific (expected) behaviour

iwlwifi can return early from probe (in FreeBSD attach) while a separate
thread is still grinding loading the firmware and setting things up.
For us this means that kldload succeeded but we may not have a physical
wireless interface (com) yet but the rc framework might already try to
configure a vap on one.

Wait until we get a firmware completion event from the other thread
(on success or error) and block returning. That way we can ensure that
the "hw" (or com in net80211 terms) is there when we return from attach
matching the expected FreeBSD driver behaviour.
