Hi, I had also some issues porting my system from Robert's Debian image to a Buildroot config (using PRU). I had to choose between TI or Robert's methods to add capes, so with device tree overlays or write a single device tree with everything hard coded. I think it would be nice to join the effort and create a Buildroot defconfig using Robert's patches but uBoot in order to use the "capes manager" and using the same kernel config as starting point.
And sorry, I have never used the LCD cape.
