It succeeds here:

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

[Side note: It is usual in mailing lists to use text only messages, with lines
wrapped at a reasonable column when it makes sense, i.e. around 80.]
Is this alternative method good for you?

Mike, All,

Why are you explicitly prefixing with 'tags/'?

Buildroot 2016.11 is getting pretty old now. You should upgrade.

Those messages are perfectly expected.
And for me, the download does work when using the current Buildroot
master:
$ cat my_defconfig
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_URL="https://github.com/Xilinx/linux-xlnx"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION="zynq-soc-for-4.3"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_USE_ARCH_DEFAULT_CONFIG=y
$ make clean
$ make linux-menuconfig

I also tested (just for the sake of losing time) on 2016.11.3, and it
also works as expected:
