--- Comment #13 from Theron Tarigo <theron at freebsd.org> ---
This is really two bugs:
(1) Package repository contains an incompatible kmod which panics the system
instead of checking compatibility.
(2) Package repository doesn't contain a working i915kms for 12.1

(In reply to Niclas Zeising from comment #12)
To fix (1) I propose a much simpler fix: Patch the kmod itself to take
responsibility for checking whether the kernel is compatible, since the kernel
otherwise assumes modules to be forward compatible.

While indeed, working around the issue is easy enough for the system
administrator, I agree with Tomasz that the binary pkg situation is
unacceptable.
