That should be all that is required. If the drivers you need are
indeed in 3.0 (I didn't go check explicitly), then you can create
a bbappend for the BSP in a layer, and add a configuration fragment
that enables the drivers you need (as modules or builtin, your
choice).

Examples of config fragments are in the BSP/kernel guides found on
the yocto project pages.

Cheers,
