mfi(4) doesn't support the 9341, however mrsas(4) does.

Is the snippet of dmesg you pasted after you added hwmfi.mrsas_enable="1" to /boot/device.hints?

If so perhaps that isn't just a typo in your email, but rather a typo in your device.hints

The correct line is hw.mfi.mrsas_enable="1"

If after activating the mrsas driver it's still not working please attach your dmesg and output of pciconf -lv
