I'm currently in the bisecting processing trying to figure out what had
broken in -CURRENT so drm-legacy loads (albeit it takes ~10 seconds) and
kind of works, but only in software -- OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe
(LLVM 8.0, 128 bits).  I'll apply your verbose.diff you've sent earlier
and get more information on which firmware modules it tries to load.

Marked; I'll do that and boot under Ubuntu where everything works, to
collect more data points.

Nothing to apologize for, good question is often half of the answer. :-)
Thanks,
