drm-kmod: AMD Ryzen Vega 8?

I have a question about support for a specific graphics processor. I
haven't found the answer anywhere, not even on the wiki page on
graphics.
I'm trying to run FreeBSD on a new HP desktop PC with an AMD Ryzen 3
2200G processor, which includes a Vega 8 graphics processor. I've
installed package drm-kmod-g20190710 and loaded module amdgpu, and it
hangs during boot.
Without loading that module, booting succeeds, but /dev/dri doesn't
exist and the X server refuses to run.
I've seen the statement that the AMD drivers conflict with the EFI
frame buffer. That doesn't apply; I boot FreeBSD through the "legacy"
mechanism, not through UEFI.
The boot messages say the processor is
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega Graphics (3493.52-MHz K8-class CPU)
Origin="AuthenticAMD" Id=0x810f10 Family=0x17 Model=0x11 Stepping=0
plus a long list of features.
In /boot/modules, I see files whose names include amdgpu_vega10,
vega12, vega20, and vegam, but not vega8.
Is drm-kmod intended to support Vega 8? Will it ever?
