As you've noticed the approach of selecting kernel DRM driver based
solely on FreeBSD version is flawed. It's not guaranteed a given PCI ID
(or "chip") would be supported by the selected drm-*-kmod version.
In the quote above the user was on FreeBSD 11.2 and probably installed
drm-stable-kmod via drm-kmod which would be "appropriate" iff the driver
actually attached. Since then drm-stable-kmod was renamed to drm-fbsd11.2-kmod
and updated to drm-v4.11 branch but still no Whiskey Lake support.

Here's another example:
