The idea was to merge 'master' to 'omap', rather than rebase.

AFAIK that branch should still work (even if not up-to-date).

Yes, I'm not interested on maintaining the 'omap' branch any more.

Ideally TI should fix their implementation, and/or submit patches to
gst-openmax to add whatever if missing. If there's another repository
that works, I would gladly drop the 'omap' branch from the official
repo.

Does this sound reasonable?
