Thanks Bruce and Otavio. I understand better now. I took the .config and copied it to my linux/files directory/defconfig. I have verified that changes there make it into .config. Now I can keep the config changes I need to make under my local version control, this should work fine for my needs.

Forget the fragment idea? meta-fsl-arm and meta-fsl-arm-extra kernels does not use the Linux Yocto framework so you must to apply patches or provide replacement defconfig files to adapt the kernel. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
