I sent an-email about this to a variety of lists about a week ago. I do know that there are a few special users of drm2 in FreeBSD current, I do not know how those are affected. Since, on FreeBSD current, most architectures can use drm-kmod, I believe it is good to point everyone towards that ports, instead of pointing everyone except amd64 users to drm-legacy-kmod.
