Creating a 32-bit VLC-enabled Raspberry Pi 5 Image with MMAL Support

Description

I'm currently working on creating an image for the Raspberry Pi 5 that includes VLC with MMAL support, following the guidelines outlined in the documentation at https://meta-raspberrypi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extra-build-config.html#raspberry-pi-distro-vlc.

VLC does not support HW accelerated video decode through MMAL on a 64-bit OS.

However, I encountered a limitation where VLC cannot use hardware-accelerated video decoding through MMAL on a 64-bit operating system. According to the configuration for the Raspberry Pi 5 available at https://github.com/agherzan/meta-raspberrypi/blob/master/conf/machine/raspberrypi5.conf, the default generated operating system is 64-bit. I'm interested in finding out if it's possible to create a 32-bit user space image that supports MMAL.

Best regards.
