Description

~~Check if it's a bug in `utk` or in the vendor firmware - neither is desirable, but our side is fixable.~~

See https://github.com/orangecms/utk-web/issues/12 where the issue was spotted.

Addendum: UEFITool also lists those duplicates. The question is whether `utk` should ever handle/support such scenarios: The image file stems from an upgrade, so it could be that it is actually not meant to be a complete nor single image. Cumulative updates, two images in one file for different board variants etc may be the case here.

Research direction

Review the duplicate-FVName report in issue #12 and compare the attached image findings with UEFITool's output. Determine whether utk is expected to support upgrade images containing duplicate GUIDs or multiple board images; done requires a documented decision and any resulting behavior to be covered.
