Won't this become an issue again when 12.2 is released, seeing as 
today's 12-stable can't use the 12.1 package?  I'm not aware of any 
progress on this matter or any technical discussions since these:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241101
https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/kms-drm/issues/183
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D23881

At very least, drm-kmod should be set NO_PACKAGE=yes before 12.2 is 
released, since the 12.1 package becomes garbage anyway on new 
installations or upgrades.
