I do both:

in the 1st layer, my kernel recipe boils down to:

SRC_URI = "\
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;protocol=git;nocheckout=1;branch=${KBRANCH} \
    file://0001-a-patch.patch \
    file://kernel-meta;type=kmeta;destsuffix=${KMETA} \
"

KERNEL_FEATURES_append = " patches/some-patches.scc"
KERNEL_FEATURES_append = " patches/more-patches.scc"
KERNEL_FEATURES_append = " patches/even-more-patches.scc"

some of the above in turn include additional .scc items recursively.


In the 2nd layer, my .bbappend boils down to:

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${BPN}-4.4:"

KERNEL_FEATURES_append_tgm = " patches/tgm.scc"

2nd-layer.scc is located in ${THISDIR}/kernel-meta/patches/ in the 2nd
layer. I don't specifically add another SRC_URI item tagged with 'kmeta' (or
any other explicit SRC_URI item for that matter).
