freebsd stable - Jul 2020 - drm i915kms on 12.1-STABLE (r363237)

Hi all together,
yesterday I installed 12.1-STABLE [1] with kernel version `uname -K` 1201519 on
my ThinkPad E490 with 'Intel UHD Graphics 620' [2].
But if I install the 'drm-fbsd12.0-kmod' and load the driver `kldload
/boot/modules/i915kms.ko` it will only show a black screen until I manually
poweroff the notebook.
See the `/var/log/messages` [3] below. The 'drm-fbsd12.0-kmod' from pkg
[4] behaves the sames as if I build it manually from ports. On 12.1-RELEASE it
worked just fine.
Has anybody a hint for me, what might be wrong and how I should deal with it?
Regards, Nils

Hi!
Whiskey Lake isn't supported by drm-fbsd12.0-kmod.
You need to upgrade to 13-CURRENT and use drm-devel-kmod.

I don't think this is the root cause. I am seeing the exact same issue
after upgrading a Sandy Bridge machine with on-chip-GPU to a recent
-STABLE. Worked perfectly fine before with the abandonware-i915kms in
base as well as with drm-legacy-kmod. Now both are showing a mere
black screen, just like Nils reported. Maybe the recent MFCs of
linuxkpi stuff broke something. I'll build some kernels and modules
and see if I find the issue. Meanwhile, if it's been discovered (and
fixed) already, let me know.
