Hi,
Package ftdi-eeprom does not exist separate, it is part of libftdi package.
My configuration in local.conf:
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " libftdi"
PACKAGECONFIG:pn-libftdi = "ftdi-eeprom"
This patch does not make ftdi_eeprom install by default.
Second line in my configuration enables this feature, if you remove this line ftdi_eeprom will not be build and place in the generated image.
