the gst-fsl-plugins (and all its component) are not developed to be used 
with linux-fslc kernel.

You can compare the two version of MM recipes (I think that the fix you 
need is from libfslcodec, but I'm not absolutely sure) and create the 
bug fix patch that installs the isink plugin when using 
linux-imx/linux-boundary kernel

Kernel from mainline (linux-fslc) does not have GPU support as-is. If 
you must use that kernel you will need to include GPU support by your 
own. So, this is the normal behavior.

For HDMI, last new I've heard is that the patch to add this was sent and 
was under review/approval.

Bear on mind that linux-fslc is a copy of kernel.org kernel, and this is 
not the kernel Freescale supports (or BD)
