I would always create my own layer and add a .bbappend for the
kernel-recipe I want to modify. There you could of course change the
SRC_URI and S variable but you could also provide your changes to
linux-imx.inc as a patch.

Then you could manage your changes to this layer via git. And you don't
lose the opportunity to pull changes from the remote repositories
without destroying your own changes.
