I've updated the tmp/imx-ipu-scaler branch.

That should be capture-io-mode=dmabuf for the decoder and
output-io-mode=dmabuf-import for the converter element. h264parse
doesn't provide and fbdevsink can't handle dmabufs, so the decoder's
output-io-mode and the converter's capture-io-mode should be kept as
mmio.

Not that I am aware of.
