You should keep these lines and just change it to "2013.10".

The reason is that if you remove these lines, then what the defconfig
means is "use whatever default version Buildroot has". This is not the
behavior what we want for defconfig, since we want them to be
reproducible, as we have no guarantee that newer U-Boot versions will
continue to work for a given platform.
