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.
No, this change is not correct.
You *newly* point ARM drm2 users to use a port marked with
"ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= amd64 i386 powerpc64"
Do you think that this is correct behavior?
So again. I have not a single problem with drm-legacy-kmod removal,
I have not a problem with pointing users of supported architectures (by
kmod-*) to right port.
But I have problem with marking drm2 driver as obsolete for ARM
architecture (without single rational reason) and/or by pointing ARM
users of drm2 driver to not-existent port.

I am only improving an already existing message. Previously, it would
point people to drm-legacy-kmod on all architectures except amd64. This
is wrong, since drm-legacy-kmod will be removed. drm-legacy-kmod is
causing issues and preventing updates to other areas of FreeBSD, as I
clearly stated in an email sent to current, ports, x11 and stable
mailing lists. drm-current-kmod is only available on i386, amd64 and
powerpc64. drm-devel-kmod is available on further architectures,
covering almost all of the FreeBSD on desktop segment.
With the work manu is doing, this will improve further.
For FreeBSD 12, the situation is slightly different, since
drm-fbsd12.1-kmod has less support. However, drm-legacy is available in
base there, and once again, with the work manu is doing, support for
further architectures might be possible even on FreeBSD 12.
I have no objections if you want to opt out of the message on your tegra
boards, but I do not want us to point users to a port that is deprecated
and slated for removal.
