Yep, that's the correct place. All changes to the kernel's meta branch are also
made in: git.yoctoproject.org/yocto-kernel-cache and propagated to all newer
kernels.

That's what I (and others) typically do. That way you can manipulate any
part of the tree you want, without slinging patches directly. You could also
use a standalone kernel cache, but a local clone and a bbappend pointing
at it is the simplest way to go.
