Okay, it looks like the mount command makes two attempts at mounting.
Firstly, it does this:

> [   22.942638] NFSOP 'nolock=(null)'

> [   22.956831] NFS4: Couldn't follow remote path

Which accepts the "vers=4.2" parameter as there's no check that that is
actually valid given the configuration, but then fails later.  Secondly, it
does this:

> [   22.971001] NFSOP 'source=192.168.1.10:/srv/nfs/odroidhc1'

> [   22.984513] NFS: Value for 'minorversion' out of range
> mount.nfs4: Numerical result out of range

which fails because of the minorversion=1 specification, where the kernel
config didn't enable NFS_V4_1.

It looks like it ought to have failed prior to these patches in the same way:

		case Opt_minorversion:
			if (nfs_get_option_ul(args, &option))
				goto out_invalid_value;
			if (option > NFS4_MAX_MINOR_VERSION)
				goto out_invalid_value;
			mnt->minorversion = option;
			break;
