The "EMGD" driver covers many devices, depending on what version you're referring too. The driver that was removed from meta-yocto supports the SGX-based Atom boards (Tunnel Creek, iirc) and is unmaintained. Luckily you're using a modern Atom with Intel HD graphics, which is supported by the open-source drivers in the standard kernel and Mesa, so that Valley Island BSP should work just fine.
