When FreeBSD 12.1 was first released, there were issues with the binary=20
package of drm-fbsd12.0-kmod, since all packages still were built on=20
12.0, and a kmod built on 12.0 didn't work on 12.1.  Since then, the=20
package build cluster has changed to build all packages for 12 on 12.1,=20
so if you're running 12.1 the binary package should work.  If you are=20
running 12-stable you need to compile the driver though.
