I believe we could replace FILESPATH with FILESEXTRAPATHS in the below files.
That should give a test case also would make it easier to override the files
using bbappends. 

meta/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-custom.inc
meta/recipes-kernel/linux-module/module.inc
meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-custom.inc

-FILESPATH =. "${LAYERDIR_core}/recipes-kernel/linux/files:"
+FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${FILE_DIRNAME}/files:"

Will test and send a v2 with an additional patch for review.
