I don't mind the noise :-)

With Thames [Radeon HD 7550M/7570M/7650M] on -CURRENT, I benefit from 
/boot/modules/drm.ko (specifically _not_ radeonkms) specified in rc.conf:

root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p:~ # grep -v \# /etc/rc.conf | grep kld
kldxref_enable="NO"
kldxref_clobber="NO"
kld_list="fusefs"
kld_list="/boot/modules/drm.ko"
root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p:~ # pkg query '%o %v %R' drm-kmod 
drm-current-kmod xf86-video-ati xf86-video-amdgpu
graphics/drm-kmod g20190710 poudriere
graphics/drm-current-kmod 5.4.62.g20201109_1 poudriere
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati 19.1.0_3,1 FreeBSD
root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p:~ # date ; uname -v

Peculiar.

Background:

<https://gitter.im/FreeBSDDesktop/Lobby/archives/2020/09/21?at=5f688e2fb468994d0d41ef44>; 
a suggestion to try not having |xf86-video-| anything.

<https://gitter.im/FreeBSDDesktop/Lobby/archives/2020/10/02?at=5f76efb01b444b4eafb0af7a>; 
success after ceasing use of kld_list="radeonkms" in rc.conf.
