You have a different chip than those which the driver already supports. So just adding an ID won't be enough. About the only possible way to determine what needs to be done is to read and understand the Linux driver code for your chip and figure out how exactly it differs from the code for the chips already supported by both OpenBSD and Linux. Which requires a lot of work to do. Then someone who has time and skills could implement code which covers those differences for OpenBSD's rtwn driver. That's even more work.
