[Buildroot] [PATCH] config: bump linux kernel to 4.8.6 in synopsys defconfigs

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Alexey, All,

"Unexpectedly" is a bit of untrue: we've been doing releases every three
months since February 2009, 7 years ago, with a one-month freeze before
the release.

So, anything that comes on-or-after the first day of the release month is
not guaranteed to go in master, unless it is a fix.

This is far from "unexpected". ;-)

Granted, the rc1 tag can be (and has often been) delayed by a few days,
but this is a minor delay; it has never been guaranteed the first few
days of the stabilisation month would still be open for merging into
master...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
