Well, I looked at the linux-yocto file and tried a couple of
combinations in my bbappend. All of them geenrated lots of different errors.

e.g. I used:

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}-${PV}:"

COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_cubox-i = "(cubox-i)"

SRC_URI += "file://videoin.cfg"

addtask kernel_configme before do_configure after do_patch

# Pick up shared functions
inherit kernel
inherit kernel-yocto
#require linux-dtb.inc

# extra tasks
addtask kernel_configcheck after do_configure before do_compile


The error messages are too long to include here :-/

Guess, it is probably best to go the defconfig way.
