If you refer to driver in [1] I have some concerns: i.MX27 VPU should be implemented as a V4L2 mem2mem device since it gets raw pictures from memory and outputs encoded frames to memory (some discussion about the subject can be fond here [2]), as Exynos driver from Samsung does. However, this driver you've mentioned doesn't do that: it just creates several mapping regions so that the actual functionality is implemented in user space by a library provided by Freescale, which regarding i.MX27 it is also GPL. What we are trying to do is implementing all the functionality in kernel space using mem2mem V4L2 framework so that it can be accepted in mainline. Please, correct me if the driver you are talking about is not the one in [1]. Regards.
