Just tested to add this to my custom machine :
XSERVER_DRIVER_mx6 ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/egl_mx6 ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgles1_mx6q ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgles1_mx6dl ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgles1_mx6sx ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgles1_mx6sl ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgles2_mx6q ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgles2_mx6dl ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgles2_mx6sx ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgles2_mx6sl ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgl_mx6q ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgl_mx6dl ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgl_mx6sx ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgl_mx6sl ?= ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libg2d_mx6 ?= ""

But the following command still shows gpu-viv-bin-mx6q :
bitbake -g my-image && cat pn-depends.dot | grep -v -e '-native' |
grep -v digraph | grep -v -e '-image' | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq
