[meta-freescale] imx6: webkit html5 video with hardware acceleration

[Bin Lin]

Hi Richard,

We tried to get the HTML5 playback working with Qt5.2.1 webkit on daisy 
branch.  It hangs when it is trying to play.  We tried it on both the 
youtubeview example of Qt5 webkitqml and the browser example of 
webkitwidgets, eglfs setup.  The results are the same.

What are the steps you followed to make the HTML5 at least to play under 
webkit?

Regards,

Bin
