Did it work on the target?  You've now got two target packages that contain
the same files, so you'll have to be careful that they don't get installed
at the same time, or diverge.  If libftdi builds eeprom, then why do you
need another recipe for ftdi-eeprom?

It really would be best to fix the packaging, instead of working around
broken packaging with SSTATE_DUPWHITELIST.
