Hmm :(

Did you set all the sysctls as described in the "debugging tips" section
in https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics?

dev.drm.skip_ddb="1"
debug.debugger_on_panic=0
dev.drm.drm_debug_persist="1"
dev.drm.drm_debug=-1

With these set (add in /boot/loader.conf and reboot), do you get a core
dump or some drm log messages left in dmesg after reboot?
