Definitely doing CPU decoding. I don't see any kernel messages that
indicate the VPU has been detected even though I have
CONFIG_VIDEO_IMX_PXP=y in the kernel config. Is that the correct
option? Are there others? The device tree entry for the VPU seems to
be included in the kernel configuration by default.

I grabbed OSSystems meta-gstreamer layer to get 1.16.2, but even with
that included I do not appear to get any v4l2 decode plugins:

# gst-inspect-1.0 --version
gst-inspect-1.0 version 1.16.2
GStreamer 1.16.2
Unknown package origi

# gst-inspect-1.0 |grep v4l
imxv4l2video: imxv4l2videosrc: V4L2 CSI Video Source
imxv4l2video: imxv4l2videosink: V4L2 CSI Video Sink
video4linux2: v4l2src: Video (video4linux2) Source
video4linux2: v4l2sink: Video (video4linux2) Sink
video4linux2: v4l2radio: Radio (video4linux2) Tuner
video4linux2: v4l2deviceprovider (GstDeviceProviderFactory)

Thank you
