nvidia-modeset not loading from loader.conf after upgrade from 12 to 12.1

This morning, I upgraded my desktop to 12.1 from 12.0. Everything worked fine on initial reboot, and then I upgraded all packages, which pushed me from nvidia-driver 390.87_3 -> 440.31. Upon next reboot, the nvidia-modeset.ko wasn't loaded according to kldstat (nor was nvidia.ko). (I had to look at that because X wouldn't start).

Loading it manually via kldload nvidia-modesetworked fine.

The entry in /boot/loader.conf was:
Code:
nvidia-modeset_load="YES"

No mention of nvidia-modeset at all in dmesg/messages.

Swapping to
Code:
kld_list="nvidia-modeset linux"
in /etc/rc.conf made everything work just fine.

Anyone have any ideas why the loader.conf entry no longer works?
