The Mali FB support was never ported from eglglessink to libgstgl, what I
removed was just the leftover in configure.ac.

While there is a Open Source driver, it's reverse engineered and there are
enough people who can't or don't want to use it. I'd rather have this one here
upstream than having people use suboptimal patches from Freescale or not even
finding them and then considering GStreamer's GL support broken and using
imxeglvivsink (from gstreamer-imx) instead.
