Sure. But isn't there a custom (or not yet developed generic V4L2 mem2mem)
GStreamer plugin required for the mainline CODA implementation? There is also
the question of the CSI and IPU features that are not yet available in mainline,
even for mx27 and mx51.

Perhaps in BuildRoot there could be a solution for packages from Freescale, and
another one for mainline stuff as long as mainline does not provide all
features.
