Hi Yogesh,

Just a quick note: this patch will break some meta-intel builds. Once
merged, it will require some changes on your side:

ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'gstreamer1.0-vaapi' (but /srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/meta-intel/build/layers/openembedded-core/meta/recipes-sato/images/core-image-sato.bb, /srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/meta-intel/build/layers/openembedded-core/meta/recipes-sato/images/core-image-sato-sdk.bb RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)
NOTE: Runtime target 'gstreamer1.0-vaapi' is unbuildable, removing...
Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['gstreamer1.0-vaapi']

Thanks,
Mathieu
