I do use poky as in the commit message.

Regarding the kernel - I do have my own recipe;
inherit kernel 

require
recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc                                                                                                                                                                                                   


And then I do have:
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_display5 = "display5" 

KBUILD_DEFCONFIG_pn-linux-yocto-custom_display5 =
"imx6q_display5_defconfig"                                                                                                                                                                   

As the board is in mainline I just point to Linus tree.
