Looks like the pinctrl tree did not include the merge with the immutable
branch with the necessary infrastructure in its pull request to Linus :-(.
As for how it was tested in the pinctrl tree, no idea. Maybe pinctrl-msm has
some dependency which was missing in the pinctrl tree and came in through
a different pull request.

For this to build, you'll need to merge

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/groeck/linux-staging.git restart-handler-for-v3.18

which was supposed to be merged by all trees using it, to avoid exactly
this problem (clk, power/restart, and watchdog are the other trees I am
aware of).

Best solution might be for Linus to pull the above tag directly, after
screaming at me appropriately. Sorry, I thought we had this well covered.
