Wow, do you have that available somewhere? I'm also working on a
project that uses ti-sgx, we're also working on updating it to the
latest version from TI, and we had issues with libgbm being
insufficient to run Cog.

It is explained in package/opengl/libgbm/Config.in:

# gbm implementations should select
# BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGBM_HAS_FEATURE_FORMAT_MODIFIER_PLANE_COUNT if they
# provide the format modifier plane count feature. This API was
# initially introduced in mesa3d version 17. A gbm implementation
# provides this feature if it is implement function
# gbm_device_get_format_modifier_plane_count.
config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGBM_HAS_FEATURE_FORMAT_MODIFIER_PLANE_COUNT
        bool
        depends on BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_LIBGBM

# gbm implementations should select
# BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGBM_HAS_FEATURE_DMA_BUF if they provide the dma
# buffer feature. This API was initially introduced in mesa3d version
# 10. A gbm implementation provides this feature if it is implement
# function gbm_bo_get_fd.
config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGBM_HAS_FEATURE_DMA_BUF
        bool
        depends on BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_LIBGBM

So basically, you can readelf on libgbm.so, and based on the functions
that it provides, decide which of the above feature flag your ti-sgx-um
package should select.

If you need some help on this, feel free to get in touch on IRC (if
you're not already there), I'll be happy to have a look as I'm
interested in Cog + ti-sgx-um.

Thanks!

Thomas
