The DRM driver is a componentized driver that needs all of its components to come up before it registers the DRM device. So if you have the LDB enabled in your DT you also need the LDB driver, otherwise you won't get any video out. If you don't want to have LDB, don't disable the driver alone, but also add a status = "disabled" in the DT LDB node. 2. The kernels framebuffer emulation layer will try to put the framebuffer on both displays. So if you have a smaller LVDS display connected the framebuffer will only have the size of the smaller display. Solution is to not depend on the kernels frambuffer emulation, but actually set a mode from userspace and work with the KMS interface directly.
