Had Ustad Vilayat Khan composed raga Yemani?

A raga called Yamani-Bilawal has been in existence since long. As Ustad Vilayat Khan started playing Yemeni (which no one else had performed earlier) with greater freedom of movement and abundant use of Madhyam, one can say that he invented it – of course with readiness to face contradictions.
