You need to keep an explicit Linux kernel version, both for the kernel
itself and the headers. Indeed, we don't want defconfigs to
automatically "move" to a newer kernel version when it gets added in
Buildroot, as we want the defconfigs to be known-working references.

Could you adjust this in this patch and the second patch as well ?

Thanks!

Thomas
