This is a bug, whether or not the module is correct for your machine.
If you haven't done so already, you should check the bug reports at
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/query.cgi and add a report if it
isn't already there.  It would help to boot with verbose options.
This should give more information even if you (try to) load the module
later.

It would be good to see what the system reports on boot.  That will be
in /var/run/dmesg.boot, and it, too, will be more detailed if you boot
with the -v option.

That will be easier to determine with complete dmesg output.
