Are you patching an existing upstream recipe? Or your own recipe? In the
former case, you would use a .bbappend recipe.

In either case, it all depends on how the service file is generated. If it
is part of the source code, then you just create a patch against the source
tree and reference that patch in a recipe as a SRC_URI_append. If you
generate it as part of a build, then you would either patch the build
product (less desirable), or patch the code that generates the service file
(more desirable).
