There are PACKAGECONFIG definitions for v4l in meta/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gstreamer1.0-plugins-good.inc & meta/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gst-plugins-good_0.10.31.bb in oecore, which controls building of the v4l2 plugin. And I see it is built even when v4l is not listed in PACKAGECONFIG var, so looks like it is autodetected.

But the above change is to make sure that the v4l2 plugins gets pulled in the image.

Because of the general availability of accelerated encoding in processors, many BSPs can include the accelerated encoding support. Also because the gstreamers plugin for v4l2 is in oecore, so oecore will be ideal location for v4l-utils.

Thanks,
Nitin
