[meta-freescale] imxipuvideosink in 3.10.53 on Nitrogex6xlite

[Carlos Rafael Giani]

Are you starting this from SSH or minicom? If so, make sure you call 
this first:

export DISPLAY=:0

Otherwise, it will not be able to connect to the X display. This might 
explain why the eglvivsink wasn't being picked.
As for the double mutex unlock, this might already have a fix. I'll check.
