The description of the relation between KBUILD_DEFCONFIG and
SRC_URI is reversed. In fact it is the SRC_URI provided
defconfig which will be dropped by the kernel-yocto class
if both are provided.

-Aside from modifying your kernel recipe and providing your own
-``defconfig`` file, you need to be sure no files or statements set
-:term:`SRC_URI` to use a ``defconfig`` other than your "in-tree" file (e.g.
-a kernel's ``linux-``\ `machine`\ ``.inc`` file). In other words, if the
-build system detects a statement that identifies an "out-of-tree"
-``defconfig`` file, that statement will override your
-:term:`KBUILD_DEFCONFIG` variable.
+If the build system detects a statement that identifies an "out-of-tree"
