While you are using meta-intel, this is more of a generic Yocto Project
question more appropriate on yocto at yoctoproject.org. Let's start here
with maybe getting more information about your recipe, can you share a
copy of the recipe?  Maybe redacted version if you need to.

Without more information about what you are doing in your recipe, like
which kernel related inherits or if you based this off the meta-
skeleton example of doing a custom kernel. It's hard to know why the
source is getting copied.

Sau!
