If we add this append we need to change the layer dependencies and probably add
this package to the test image too. But maybe we can avoid this by using a
separate layer specific directory as meta-fsl-arm does with qt5-layer.

Check https://github.com/Freescale/meta-fsl-arm and
https://github.com/Freescale/meta-fsl-arm/blob/master/conf/layer.conf

P.S.: Sorry for this very late reply but I had a very busy period lately.
Thanks for understanding.
