AMD Ryzen 9 7000s series and amdgpu bug on FreeBSD

Loading the drm-61-kmod (6.1.92) driver at boot time leads to kernel panic and system freeze.

https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/issues/305

This commit: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/1308 ensures that the right firmware for AMD Raphael GPUs is installed via fwget. It solves the kernel panic but not the system freeze/hanging. I did not test it on my PC as I am currently away from home, but it is promising.

I am waiting patiently until this issue is fixed or else I am buying a cheap GPU, e.g. RX 570 that runs smoothly with FreeBSD.
