What you're saying here doesn't make sense.

Either the commit you're referring to is part of Linus tree (and
therefore is stable and will never change), but in this case, there is
no reason to use linux-next at all.

Or the commit you're referring to is not part of Linus tree, but is
really on top of it, part of linux-next, and in this case, the commit
is not stable and it will disappear every day, as linux-next is rebased
every day.

So let's be clear: using linux-next is *not* possible as it simply
doesn't work. Remove your download directory, and try again to build
your defconfig: you will see that it fails.

Best regards,

Thomas
