Yes this is by design. 11-STABLE contain the same drm code so no need to
use external drm-legacy. I made an attempt to make it build against 11 as
well but the kernel code has changed from 11 to 12 a lot so it wasn=E2=80=
=99t worth
it. It would require many patches for 11.

Yes, drm-legacy-kmod is meant to be used with gpu-firmware-kmod. This has
been fixed (hopefully) in drm-legacy-kmod-g20180921 but require r338807 or
newer.

I can=E2=80=99t test this myself so it=E2=80=99s not confirmed to be workin=
g yet..  Can you
try build against newer kernel and test?
