Well, I've recompiled and installed graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod, now my
drm_info output looks like this: https://termbin.com/481e
I shall see how often Xorg will crash now.

But really, is the graphics/drm-kmod port really necessary and why? The
default FreeBSD installation already contains /boot/kernel/i915kms.ko
and /boot/kernel/drm2.ko, and I load them from rc.conf.
 
Is anything wrong with them?
