We have a meta-layer which builds the kernel.
This contains among other things:
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend_<machine> = "${THIS_DIR}/<machine>"
SRC_URI = "git://<server>/<repo.git>;protocol=ssh;branch=<branch>"
SRC_URI += "file://defconfig"
PV = "...+git${SRCPV}"
SRCREV = "<shaid>"

Would like to have an option to build the kernel with external source.
That option should be easy to enable/disable

What you are describing here is very close to how the devtool works.
I think it can deal with kernel packages in its latest iteration
did you have a look at that tool ? does it satisfy your need ? if
not, what would it need to do what you want...
No, where can I find more information?
The yocto manual has quite a section on that tool
The customer does not use the latest version of Yocto right now, so
that might be a problem,
depends on how old "not the latest" is... but if you can do a sandbox
with the latest version, you can probably see how devtool works and
manually do the same thing...
so It would be good to have an example ".bbappend" to start with.
