No, you can't use linux-next, as commits are not stable.

Please try yourself: wait a few days, delete your Buildroot download
folder entirely, and try to build your defconfig: it will fail, because
the git commit no longer exists on the linux-next Git repository.

If the commit still exists, then it means that it's a commit that is
part of Linus tree, in which case there is no point in using linux-next.

Best regards,

Thomas
