I have Android 7.1 and I implemented all of the changes you indicated, although you do indicate P or higher I thought I would try it. During the boot, the boot logo was still in portrait mode due to the fact that the default orientation of the LCD display is portrait mode (the timings are for 800x1280 and not 1280x800)
When I flash the new OS to the board and then boot it and Android finally starts, the display is initially in landscape mode but quickly changes to portrait. Subsequent reboots are straight into portrait. I've not been able to track down which part of the source is selecting portrait. By the way, the exact same build running on the same processor board but with an 800x480 LCD that is default landscape timing, comes up as landscape.
