This fails because linux-4.14.y is older than 39c3fd58952d: kernel/irq: Extend
lockdep class for request mutex, which updates irq_set_lockdep_class API.

Looking at irq_set_lockdep_class update patch, what appears to be a simple fix is
to simply remove the last parameter from irq_set_lockdep_class call in
pinctrl-at91-pio4.c, but I am not even sure if the fix remains legitimate in this
case (ie if the corresponding lockdep splat reappears), and I do not have access
to corresponding hardware before the deadline, so if that's not already the plan,
I suggest to drop this from 4.14 branch.
