Do you have an AMD GPU that works with 5.10?

When I opened the PR, I got a number of me-too replies, I'm definitely
not the only one affected. I do assume that other -CURRENT users with
AMD graphics cards continue to use drm-54-kmod (as I do).

There is no reason to make drm-54-kmod fail on -CURRENT for those users
that still cannot use drm-510-kmod. When the package is no longer built
on -CURRENT, "pkg upgrade" will just remove drm-54-kmod on -CURRENT
systems when it is no longer provided by the package mirrors.
I'd consider that a violation of POLA, especially since drm-54-kmod
continues to work just fine on -CURRENT and continues to be supported
on -STABLE.

I have opened a FreeBSD PR with all the information I have, back in
February, and you have known about it. On 2022-02-19 you added a
comment to this PR where you state that you have no AMD GPU to test
the DRM code with).

I'll open an issue on GitHub with the same information, but I consider
the FreeBSD PR the correct place to report issues that affect FreeBSD.
