Best thing to do is rebuild the drm-fbsd12.0-kmod package from the ports 
tree.  i have had this issue as well while testing the BETA and RC 
builds for 12.1, and there is some breakage in the upstream packages 
causing this behavior.  removing the package, then doing a "make 
package" in the graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod directory, then installing 
the resulting package in the work/pkg directory gets everything working 
again.
