It works!  Thanks!  With this current test I had not edited rc.conf, thinking
that the patch was intended to detect it and automatically add it to devices
shown in ifconfig. The config below works:

# sysctl net.wlan.devices
net.wlan.devices: rtw890

/etc/rc.conf
...
wlans_rtw890="wlan0"
create_args_wlan0="regdomain FCC country US"
ifconfig_wlan0="up WPA SYNCDHCP"
ifconfig_wlan0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"


/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
 ssid="[my SSID]"
 psk="[My PSK]"
}


Additional testing:

After rebooting without a USB-wired network, I tested by pinging some internet
sites and checking iperf3 against a LAN server. iperf3 showed a rate of 8.94
Mbps after 60 seconds, and was very consistent over that time.  ifconfig shows
a 2.4 GHz connection and 'media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet 0FDM/54Mbps mode
11g', so it isn't immediately obvious to me why the iperf3 is relatively slow.
I anticipated that iperf3 would be ~54 Mbps, so I am not sure if there is
additional configuration needed or if this is a known limitation of the current
driver.

If this is working as well as expected, this issue can be closed. If there is
additional testing/configuration to get faster performance or to test other
configuration options, I would be happy to continue testing.
