Your email subject still seems to be null.

I have different DRM_SIMPLEDRM options and related  enabled but nothing
pops up via HDMI (at least I tried simple xorg-server things).
Is it possible that your bootloader initilises some framebuffer and inserts
it into DTB that passed to kernel? Or you have some other pieces in
kernel/dt that implement missing functionality?

Here it seems there are no outputs:
[root@e850usb ~]# ls -al /dev/fb*
ls: cannot access '/dev/fb*': No such file or directory

and there no simle framebuffer or related logs. "DPU is not currently
enabled on Exynos850 SoC" looks like the reason.

Panfrost itself seems to be alive though:
