Thanks for the suggestions.

I downloaded what's in the master repo:

I still have the H1 encoder enabled, but I know JPEG isn't supported,
so I'm going to attempt to do some decoding and pipe to fakesink since
I don't have a functional display yet.

And it appears to stream, because the counter increases.  I haven't
checked the CPU utilization, but the fact that it shows v4l2slh264dec
is good.

Is there a way to know if/how the decoder is using the proper VPU?  I
assume if it wasn't using the proper one, it would fail, but was just
curious.

I think I'll redo the patch without the RFC and without the H1 encoder
unless anyone has any objections.  I know I need to rebase on
linux-next anyway because the patches don't apply cleanly.  Is there a
specific branch I should use?  I don't know if this goes through
Shawn's IMX tree or the media tree (or a combination)
