We disable cloning of certain encoders in the driver.  At the hardware level,
you can source multiple encoders to the same crtc, but there are too many
encoder specific limitations in most cases that make it hard to support cloning
from the same crtc.  DP and LVDS are not possible for example as they use
different clocking for the encoders.  LVDS is direct clocked from the PPLL
while DP uses fixed clock derived from the DCPLL, so you can't drive both off
the same crtc easily, at least not the way the driver is currently structured.

You might try assigning primary flag to the DP output.
xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --primary
