drm-kmod-20220907_2

The fix appears to have worked,BUT
I have not received a prompt to recompile
all applications that the freebsd.org
instructions for a binary upgrade indicated
would happen at this stage.

I normally upgrade applications via

git -C /usr/ports pull [updating ports collection]
synth status	       [checking what's needed at the moment]
synth prepare-system   [updating available packages]
pkg upgrade -r Synth   [installing the new stuff]

and have done none of these since updating the OS except
for a synth status that tells me nothing needs upgrades
and 13 that wanted rebuilds or replacements
before the OS upgrade still do.

Do I have to trigger the rebuild somehow or can I update
the ports collection without screwing up?
