What is BSP 4.1.0? Kernel 3.0.35?

There are several changes since kernel 3.0.35, including changes on
multimedia libs.

I cannot remember if it worked or not on that time (you know, too much
version numbers in my mind), but I remember I made some rotations
using gstreamer in the past.

I would say it may be due to IPU limitation, but in fact I don't
remember if mfw_v4lsink from 3.0.35 used IPU or VPU to rotate.

I cannot remember the last time I worked with a rotation problem for
gstreamer (4 years maybe?) But in a quick search on imx.community I
was not able to find anyone asking for help on this regard in last 1
year.

If you can evaluate the latest 3.14 release I strongly recommend ;)
