When trying to build an image for the Layerscape "NXP LS1046A-RDB SD
Card Boot" target using Image Builder, you get the following error
messages:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
Package list missing or not up-to-date, generating it.

Building package index...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is noticeable:
1. All these packages are listed in the "DEVICES_PACKAGES" of this
    target.
2. the packages "fmc" and "fmc-eth-config" do not exist at all.
3. the packages "layerscape-fman" and "tfa-ls1046a-rdb-sdboot" do not
    have a "package/install" routine and therefore do not create an ipk
    file. Only binary blobs are installed via "Build/InstallDev", which
    are then used during image assembly.

Since "fmc" and "fmc-eth-config" do not exist, we should remove these
entries from the "DEVICE_PACKAGES".

For the other two it is a bit more difficult. For this, a mechanism
similar to PKG_BUILD_DEPENDS on image level would be useful or
necessary.

Any suggestions?
