I read this note and tried even writing a separate recipe for TI vendor kernel headers, but bitbake simply wouldn't allow me to copy to /usr/include/linux where the linux-libc-headers is copying to. I can try to install in a different location like /usr/include/ti/linux or something similar. But in this case, the userspace application need to make adjustments in their code to include it from the new location (which is possible). I am trying it out with a build, will keep you posted and send a new patch.

Regards,
Hari

+Subject: [PATCH] dma-buf: heaps: expose DMA_HEAP_IOCTL_EXPORT uapi
+
+Mirrors ti-linux-kernel commit 8715cc31cfe8a191ade660ff787fedbadcb187d4
+("TI: HACK: dma-buf: heaps: Add Heap export from offset IOCTL"), limited
+to the include/uapi/linux/dma-heap.h hunk. The kernel already ships this
+ioctl; linux-libc-headers fetches its own independent pristine tarball
+and knows nothing about it, so userspace can't see the symbol without
+this patch.
