[meta-freescale] [PATCH 0/9] Upstream Multimedia patches for L4.9.51_MX8MQ Beta release

[Jun Zhu]

Hi, Carlos,

The idea to use i.MX forks is to collect all of the i.MX specific patches/enhancement to take the advantages for i.MX HW acceleration.
- Recently, we have many i.MX specific patches to added GStreamer formal releases, for example, 30+ patches (i.MX + opensource) are needed for gstreamer-plugins-bad.
- These patches may fail to apply if the GStreamer is upgraded to a new version as the code base for patches are changed. This is reason why current GStreamer build break on the master branch build.

For the GStreamer's i.MX forks:
- They are forked from the tags of the formal GStreamer releases and contains all of the i.MX specific patches; 
- It supports to apply the new patches in the bbappend.    

I suggest that community can consider to using the GStreamer i.MX forks as default, it is good for the i.MX users to take the advantages for i.MX HW acceleration.

BR,
Jun Zhu

I do not agree with using an entire GStreamer fork. At least, this should be opt-in, and _not_ be the default. Otherwise, people would not know that they are using a fork instead of the upstream GStreamer, and they would have to modify the bbappends if they wanted upstream.

So, I'd make this configurable. If some distro-wide flag is set, the fork is used.
