Cover letter [RFC 0/3] infrastructure changes in oecore hw codecs

From: Nitin A Kamble <[email protected]>

Here are commits for getting feedback from the community on the work happening in the oecore for supporting hwcodecs for H/W BSPs properly.
The current requirements: we need a mechanism to
1. Add accelerated codecs to the images
2. Exclude the X based codecs automatically for images not including the Xserver
3. Need a simple config mechanism to exclude all the accelerated codecs for any image of a BSP

The current mechanism available in the meta-intel BSP configs is failing to fulfill the 2nd requirement above. And I could not find any meta-intel specific solution to achieve it.

Richard and I discussed this matter and came up with the solution included in these commits. These commits will lead to BSP config changes similar to this commit:
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/meta-intel-contrib/commit/?h=nitin/hwcodec

This work is not final, and also not properly tested yet, but this email is written with the intention of sharing the proposed infrastructure changes in oecore layer to the community before they solidify.

Thanks,
Nitin
