There is a reason why all defconfigs used a fixed U-Boot / kernel
version: we want those versions to have been tested and confirmed to
work on the target platform.
So, a patch updating to Linux 4.16 would be fine, but not a patch that
changes to automatically use the latest version.
Best regards,
Thomas
