drm2: Update deprecation message
Update the deprecation message in the drm2 (aka legacy drm) drivers to point
towards the graphics/drm-kmod ports for all architectures, not just amd64.
Only known user of drm2 is arm/tegra124 based boards. How
graphics/drm-kmod can help for these?
Or be more specific - drm2 allows me to hot-plug monitor to tegra based
board an use 2 scaled overlay planes (which is exactly whats I want for
my application). Which alternative can you offer me?
Btw, as you can see, the maintenance cost of drm2 is close to zero and
the dev/drm2 code does not inherit with any of the major architectures.

I think that the goal was only to mfc this to warn users before 12.2
is branched, maybe a direct commit to 12 would have been better.
No, the change is correct.
drm-legacy-kmod (the port) is going away, especially on FreeBSD 13,
since it is preventing updates to the FreeBSD VM subsystem. I sent
an-email about this to a variety of lists about a week ago.
I do know that there are a few special users of drm2 in FreeBSD current,
I do not know how those are affected. Since, on FreeBSD current, most
architectures can use drm-kmod, I believe it is good to point everyone
towards that ports, instead of pointing everyone except amd64 users to
drm-legacy-kmod.
