[Buildroot] svn commit: trunk/buildroot/target: device/Atmellinux

It would still be possible to do that by choosing the custom config.

You might have your reasons to want names with timestaps, but for most
of us, it's nor required or desired. Forcing your way on everyone
isn't quite the best approach.

As I've said before, changing the kernel name every time I build
requires me to change u-boot, others will have to change their grub
config, or what ever bootloader they use.
