To expand on what wolfy said, what is not included in our "nosrc" SRPM<br>
is the original linux code. In your case,<br>
<br>
<a href="http://mirrors.coreix.net/elrepo-archive-archive/kernel/el7/SRPMS/kernel-lt-4.4.236-1.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://mirrors.coreix.net/elrepo-archive-archive/kernel/el7/SRPMS/kernel-lt-4.4.236-1.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm</a><br>
<br>
and<br>
<br>
<a href="https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.4.236.tar.xz" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.4.236.tar.xz</a><br>
<br>
together will create a full source SRPM.<br>
