The reason none of these work is that none of these actually match the file 
path (not to mention you are setting the value outright instead of adding to 
the existing value). The path you are trying to match is 
"/usr/lib/pcsc/drivers/ifd-acsccid.bundle/Contents/Linux/libacsccid.so" so the 
value you want is either exactly that path, or something like 
"${libdir}/pcsc/drivers/*/Contents/Linux/*.so".  Also, instead of = use += so 
that you are adding to the existing value.

This isn't right - in PACKAGES (via PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN) you are placing "info" 
and then setting FILES_${PN}-info i.e. the package is named "${PN}-info". 
Probably the thing you want is to prepend this package to PACKAGES:

PACKAGES =+ "${PN}-info"
