[meta-freescale] iMX6UL And framebuffer rotation

[Simone]

Thank you Bjørn,
I'm aware of QML rotation capabilities, but unfortunately I need to use Qt5 widgets for that project..
Mmm.. May I know which kernel you used to test the patches?
I'm using the latest linux 4.1 from the community.

Regards,
Simone
