It was replaced with a more generic option. I guess we need to update the
docs:

$ ln -s /path/to/your/kernel/tree <BSP>/local_src/kernel.<platform-suffix>

If this path exists as a directory or link to a directory, then it will be
used instead of extracting the source. Note: this is a development feature.
When you're done, create the patches + series as you noted above and remove
the link.
