Note that when the original figure was created that appears in the QS, the layer stuff had not yet been established.  This figure I am attaching is rough.  I am unsure as to the contents of these layers.  Right now it is detailed but with generic names.  The idea is that individual layers are preferred to do things such as provide software, configure policy, and configure machines.  I am including some notes at the bottom of the figure that would not be part of the figure but might help to get across what I am trying to accomplish here.

I realize you are documenting the Yocto reference builds, so the
explicit reference to linux-yocto*.bbappend makes sense (and I obviously
like it), but a quick tweak might be to just use <name>.bbappend or
<name>.bb (since not all BSP layers must bbappend a kernel, they may
have something very custom) for the kernel recipe reference.

You've already used that notation in the distro layer for the kernel-
headers, so it logically flows.

Cheers,

Bruce
