[EF] Generally NO, there is something not aligned in you system, the drm_setversion call will tell the kernel driver which version of drm is supported by the DRM_MASTER, and per definition there is only 1 DRM_MASTER at a time. DRM_MASTER is an userspace application which is allows to set the drm setting and provide new buffers for the display.
Default behavior is like this: the first how opens the /dev/dri/card0 will be the DRM_MASTER, all others can be only authenticated by the DRM_MASTER to be able to do some of the privileged commands, also the DRM_MASTER can drop the mastership then other userspace application can request it.
It looks like in your system the DRM_MASTER is the Xorg

[EF] This tells me that the setup is not completely correct and the drm_setversion call should not the called at all from LayerManagerService.
If you are happy with the system behavior this means that LayerManagerService also doesn't try to update the display buffers, which backend
Is used LayerManagerService and what it LayerManagerService is doying in you system?
Is it a client of Xorg server?

[EF] Please describe how did you compiled the LayerManager and in which setup you going to use this: Graphical system: X11, wayland, framebuffer? Are you using NXP BSP or own linux kernel/platform?
