I use the drm-next-4.7 branch at

	https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics

Upstream is merged from time to time, usual delay <= 2 week.
I am also interested in changes to the iwm driver and maintain
a branch with patches to this module that I rebase onto drm-next-4.7.

Hope this helps,

Christian
