Isn't that a duplicate of bug in Xorg itself? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109806#c24

"Not a bug in the kernel, xorg's modesetting driver needs to set all connectors/crtc's directly when using atomic. The legacy path disabled crtc B for you if you stole all its connectors for a different crtc. In the atomic case you need to disable it yourself.

This is a bug in x.org's modesetting driver."

Xorg is slowly rotting away in Wayland's world.
