Out of curiosity .. why not patch the FSL kernel itself ? That's where the
source for perf comes from, and that will ensure any perf recipe will build
when that kernel source is used. We've been fixing perf issues within the
linux-yocto repo for some time, that way the changes are matched to the
kernel that has the problem, not the layer + toolchain which can have a
changing kernel underneath it.

Just a random question.

Cheers,

Bruce
