Hi,

This series updates the i.MX multimedia packages to be in line with the
NXP 4.9.88-2.0.0_ga release [1].

The main benefit of this release is that it works for both 32-bit
i.MX6/7 processors as well as 64-bit i.MX8MQ.

That means that new packages had to be added to support the i.MX8MQ VPU
IP (from Hantro).

In Yocto, the imx-vpu package for the Chips&Media VPU present on i.MX6
wasn't renamed. But packages such as imx-vpuwrap now depend on
virtual/imxvpu which can either be provided by imx-vpu (Chips&Media) or
imx-vpu-hantro (Hantro) [2][3].

As I thought it'd be confusing to have a virtual imxvpu virtual package
with an imx-vpu provider, I renamed imx-vpu to imx-vpu-cnm and added an
imx-vpu virtual package.

Each patch for this imx-vpu change modifies several packages (those
depending on it) so that it doesn't break the build in case someone
bisects the tree.

Finally, I've verified those packages on both i.MX6Q and i.MX8MQ. But in
the case of i.MX8MQ, the VPU testing was limited to the package unit
tests since the open-source imx plugin doesn't support Hantro VPU (yet).
Note that I don't plan on integrating NXP plugin since it implies
changing all the standard plugins to be "NXP-compliant" [4].

Let me know if you are ok with this approach. As usual, comments are
welcome.

Regards,
Gary
