Just wanted to follow-up this technical topic. Even if considering that
it's not of an urgent topic anymore, it would be good to have working
path forward.

The bbappend proposal above doesn't work. Here's my bbappend code
(layer meta-fsl-arm-extra):


diff --git a/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-fslc_4.0.bbappend 
b/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-fslc_4.0.bbappend
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..4bf2349
--- /dev/null
+++ b/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-fslc_4.0.bbappend
@@ -0,0 +1,4 @@
+FILESEXTRAPATHS_append := ":${THISDIR}/${PN}-4.0"
+
+# Riotboard specific patch
+SRC_URI_imx6dl-riotboard += 
"file://0001-Revert-mmc-sdhci-esdhc-imx-Call-mmc_of_parse.patch"


This doesn't work out for reasons beyond my expertise:


$ bitbake linux-fslc

If I remove the board-specific suffix to SRC_URI, it doesn't generate
the error message and works, but obviously doesn't achieve what I need.

Any insight on this issue will be appreciated.
