commit b9423c912b770e5b9e4228d90da92b6a69693d8e

    nfs: Return EINVAL rather than ERANGE for mount parse errors
    
    Return EINVAL rather than ERANGE for mount parse errors as the userspace
    mount command doesn't necessarily understand what to do with anything other
    than EINVAL.
    
    The old code returned -ERANGE as an intermediate error that then get
    converted to -EINVAL, whereas the new code returns -ERANGE.
    
    This was induced by passing minorversion=1 to a v4 mount where
    CONFIG_NFS_V4_1 was disabled in the kernel build.
    
    Fixes: 68f65ef40e1e ("NFS: Convert mount option parsing to use functionality from fs_parser.h")
    Reported-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@kernel.org>

Yes, the boards boots up, thanks!

Tested-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@kernel.org>

I did not run extensive tests but few boots show also 2-3 seconds faster
mount of NFS root (faster switch from initramfs to proper user-space
from NFS).

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Sure! I have it applied on my laptop now, and I'll push it out before I sign off
for the weekend.

Thanks for fixing it so quickly!
