That won't work, it would set a default SRCREV for ALL packages. And since a 
default already exists, it will just not do anything at all.

Try this:

SRCREV_pn-linux-xlnx-dev = "7e86d869f14bcc57fab42801ad27d501847f4391"

If it persists, just remove the "other" kernel recipe, and bitbake will tell 
you what is causing it to be built.

Create your own overlay layer and bbappend the kernel recipe(s) in that. You 
probably are going to create your own layer anyway, to build your own image(s) 
and application(s).
