This is the current list of useful information, as well as some 
debugging tips, that may be helpful:

https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/wiki/Testing-And-Debugging-Tips#reporting-problems

Regarding timeframe on merging back to FreeBSD I can't comment on that 
but I do not foresee these patches making to FreeBSD-11-RELEASE, but it 
is possible they may get included in 11-STABLE.


Hope this helps, and thanks for taking part in the testing/debugging!

Cheers,
