CyanogenMod and official kernel sources - Android General

Hey,
Can you explain me one thing?
Does CyanogenMod require any special modifications in kernel source to compile CM?
Let's say that I have Device X from brand Y
and brand Y released official kernel source for my deivce x,
Do I have to modify kernel's source (the one brand Y released) before I use it as kernel source for CyanogenMod?

[Q] Where to find Kernel Source for CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 v2.1?

Good Evening,
I am modifing the kernel source (the wifi part specifically) working on a CM7 system and I want to migrate to CM9 because of the improvements on the system and kernel.
I know I can get the CM9 source code from CyanogenMod Github repo, but the kernel comes pre-compiled. So my question is:
Where I can find the "official" kernel source code that comes with CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 v2.1?​
KalimochoAz's samsung-kernel-crespo repo has been last updated 2 months ago, so I guess the kernel updates must be somewhere else.
Thank you in advance,
Renzo

How to make source device tree for new devices?

Anyone here can u tell me how to create source code of a new device as my device is INFOCUS M680, kernel source.
I have used another device as same board to create source of my device but the kernel source is different. So anyone can tell me how to create kernel source and device tree.
My kernel version is 3.18.19+
U can't "create" kernel sources... If the manufacturer provides the sources, then u can use that and make modifications to it to boot AOSP based roms
