AlderLake-S is unstable with Linux < 5.16 or in drm-515-kmod.
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/f5392e5f8ef3
https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/commit/55ede01c995e

Try drm-61-kmod instead (with gpu-firmware-intel-kmod-alderlake >= 20230625).
Reported success in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=270888#c8
Requires -CURRENT or https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.1R/schedule/

Due to backward compatibility it's possible to run -CURRENT kernel with
older -RELEASE userland (world + packages). For example, poudriere (as
used by the package cluster) relies on this to build binary packages for
older FreeBSD versions on the same machine.
