Is your kernel already building from linux-yocto-custom ? Or are you
using the default linux-yocto kernel and recipes already ?

If you are using one of the standard qemu machines, or a BSP that
is already working with linux-yocto*, you can simply enable the module
by creating a configuration fragment, and putting it on the SRC_URI.

config fragments and how to add them to the SRC_URI are covered in
the kernel development manuals found off the yocto site.

Cheers,

Bruce
