Thx for your hard work. The drm-next-kmod port enabled me to finally 
replace my ageing Thinkpad X220 with newer hardware.

The latest update (g20180117_3 -> 4.11.g20180224) to the drm-next-kmod 
port introduced a regression which causes Xorg on my T470s running 
12-current from a few days ago to fail at startup stating that it didn't 
find any screen.
