Its possible but I don't think it will do what you need. You really
need an override stronger than imx6. To be honest, I'm not sure this
"distro" include should be defining these as such strong overrides, its
really a machine setting, not a distro setting.

Anyhow, you could define your own override in MACHINEOVERRIDES or
DISTROOVERIDES which would be defined at a higher priority that the
imx6 one, then set

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel_<OVERRIDE> = "x"

MACHINE is an override, so you could try that in there too:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel_<MACHINE> = "x"

Cheers,

Richard
