[meta-freescale] [meta-fsl-arm][PATCH 11/14] imx-vpu: Upgrade to 3.10.31-1.1.0 Beta

[Lauren Post]

This is not a change I'll do now but will consider for GA.

VPU has dependencies on firmware/kernel so we prefer using BSP version.

Multimedia is a different category as it is not tied to other BSP components in the same way as graphics and vpu.  

This will not be in the v2 patch set.

This is specially true now with the 3.14-based kernel which community been working on. We sooner or later will have it as an option for all i.MX6-based platforms and this will also work with the same library making the versioning relation with the BSP tag even weaker.
