Qt-embedded can be used on multiple screens by using environment variables
QWS_DISPLAY, QWS_MOUSE_PROTO, et cetera.

The gstreamer element mfw_v4lsink used to accelerate media playback on i.MX
devices can also be pointed at different displays through the 'device'
property, but the current acceleration patch doesn't have a mechanism for
setting the property, and always uses the compiled-in default.

This patch allows userspace startup code to override the default through
the use of the 'v4lsinkdev' environment variable.

Please refer to the Qt4-embedded documentation for proper usage of the 
QWS_x environment variables and the Freescale Multimedia documentation
for descriptions of the various gstreamer elements.

A sequence of this for a secondary display might be this:

	export QWS_DISPLAY=linuxfb:/dev/fb2:1
	export v4lsinkdev=/dev/video19
	my-qt-app -qws

+Subject: [PATCH] i.MX video renderer: Allow v4l device from environment
+
+The i.MX6 supports multiple IPUs and multiple V4L2 output
+devices for each.
+
+Devices are numbered starting with /dev/video16 and defined
+for each configured display. In general, /dev/video16 will
+correspond to the RGB (background) layer for /dev/fb0.
+If a display is the first on an IPU, an additional V4L2
+output will be defined that corresponds to the normally
+YUV overlay (foreground) layer.
+
+This patch allows association of the proper device for
+a particular session for use in multi-headed applications.
+The default is /dev/video17:
+	export v4lsinkdev=/dev/video17
