It looks like this is where the file is expected.

I believe also meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux/defconfig should also work.
I should have mentioned that ;-) As the bbappend file is in my layer, I was expecting (and want) the defconfig file to be stored/found in it. I created this layer by copying another one that I've got. It's unpack log shows:

I suspect I've got something configured wrong with the new layer, but...

Yep, bitbake is telling us where it is looking. The -wrs_git is the
extension to the recipe, so that isn't where it is looking.
Sorry Bruce, that was a typo (see working log above for a layer that works). I've tried using:

MyLayer/recipies/linux/defconfig
MyLayer/recipies/linux/files/defconfig (with no FILESEXTRAPATHS)
MyLayer/recipies/linux/linux-wrs/defconfig

On another note, there's been a lot of fixes to the kern tools to
improve the process for adding BSPs and extending the tree (and
one defconfig bug fix), so I'll be interested to hear how this
goes.
I'm planning to give it a try after the next release. I'm currently just trying to migrate an existing (4.0.1) project to a new platform and decided to add a new layer rather than change version at the same time.
