Yes, correct, the same patch applies to multiple different kernel recipes. 
Unfortunately, they all have different ${PN}, thus cannot share the same ${PN} 
or ${PN}-${PV} directories. And having patches residing in the common files/ 
directory when used by multiple recipes (but not all of them) is allowed and 
there are existing instances out there already...
