ODROID-XU3 Android 4.4.4 KitKat Version 1.1 Image & BSP Release.

What's new from previous Android 4.4.2 release
1. Android-4.4.4_r2 merged (BUILD_ID=KTU84Q)
2. Support HDMI display rotation on Portrait. Use the ODROID Utility to rotate the screen.
This patch make Android to rotate HDMI display with specific degree when "Portrait" is set on "persist.demo.hdmirotation".
Rotation degree will be set with the system property "ro.sf.hwrotation", 90 or 270 degree only for Portrait.
With the landscape display orientation, "ro.sf.hwrotation" won't work.
3. USB 3.0 detection problem is improved.
USB control block voltage is increased from 3.0V to 3.3V for improving the USB 3,0 stability.
4. Support configurable GPS settings by system prop. (build.prop file in the /system/ directory. You need to remount to modify it).
"ro.kernel.android.gps" specify the device node to access GPS module, "ro.kernel.android.gps.speed" specify the *baudrate* to read from GPS.
Since certain vendor's GPS module support different baudrate like 4800.
5. ODROID Updater: Fix update failure when network is not connected.
This patch fixes the issue, failure updating with update.zip on local storage(root of FAT partition) when the network is disconnected.
6. Fix invisible playback on HDMI due to overlay. This will reduce the invisible video playing such as a PPT file which embeds a video.
7. Support USB Bluetooth dongle. The HID profile is stable while the A2DP(stereo audio) profile is very unstable.
