Even if there is no open-source ros_control bindings for the LBR iiwa, you can still make good progress on your own. For the Gazebo bindings, try to leverage the existing plugins available in the gazebo_ros_control package. For the hardware bindings, you will have to expose to a hardware_interface::RobotHW the raw data made available by the manufacturer's API for at least reading state and writing commands. You might also want to handle emergency or protective stops.
