This is a strange choice on an APU. Such dongles are really a last resort, they tend to suffer from cooling issues and small antennas, and OpenBSD only runs them in 11g mode rather than 11n mode. Are your APU's minipci slots already populated? If not, consider hunting down a mini PCIe iwm(4) 7260 card, or an M.2 AX200 iwx(4) card with an adapter from M.2 to mini PCIe. Both would need compatible pigtails and antennas as well. The bwfm(4) driver also supports M.2 cards which can work in an APU with an adapter. This would cost a bit more than a USB dongle but it can turn an APU into a very decent wifi client (easily 100 Mbit/s or more with an 11n-capable AP).
