No, that doesn't make any sense. Selecting the Arago toolchain does not
select the kernel or any particular kernel version.

I've used kernel 3.9.2 successfully with those ti-gfx drivers just a
month ago.

The problem we have is that the Buildroot defconfig are normally here
to generate a minimal system, i.e just bootloader+kernel+busybox. We
have been discussing how to include more defconfig that provide more
features, but we haven't really reached a consensus yet on how to do
that.
