--- Comment #1 from Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> ---
I think this is a regression or rather a change in the Linux firmware KPI.
Someone had a patch for this BUT that did not provide the backwards
compatibility we would still need for drm-kmod.
I fully agree that the panic should not happen and the driver should fail
attaching or wait for firmware "in background" and let the boot continue.
