In your kernel recipe are you using SRC_URI to fetch from a git
repository (e.g. git:// URI) or from a local directory?

I guess that if you're using a local path, there can be either some
uncommitted changes, or a stale git index.

You can try just for the experiment to add your current kernel sources
to a test git repo and point the SRC_URI to it, so bitbake can clone
the repo by git revision (SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}" will skip the need to
update the recipe revision constantly during development). This should
work fine, without the "-dirty" version suffix.

Regards,
Nikolay
