How is gstreamer-imx different from gst-fsl-plugins?
>From package/gstreamer/gst-fsl-plugins/Config.in:
GStreamer plugins for hardware-accelerated audio and video
parsers and codecs on i.MX platforms. [...]
So, it seems we already have a package that handles accelerated
audio/video decoding on i.MX.

You even use a very similar wording in the help text.
Care to elaborate in the commit log why we need this gstreamer-imx
package:
- is it specific to i.MX6?
- can it replace the existing gst-fsl-plugins?
