I built 4.19 but not 4.14. Sorry! It looks like for 4.14 95b980d62d52
will additionally depend on

commit 2dd8a62c6476 ("linux/const.h: move UL() macro to include/linux/const.h")

which first landed in v4.17-rc1.

That commit will depend on

commit 2a6cc8a6c0cb ("linux/const.h: prefix include guard of
uapi/linux/const.h with _UAPI")

which first landed in v4.17-rc1 as well. Looks like they were part of
the same series.

So 4.14.y will need the following 3 patches:
1. commit 2a6cc8a6c0cb ("linux/const.h: prefix include guard of
uapi/linux/const.h with _UAPI")
2. commit 2dd8a62c6476 ("linux/const.h: move UL() macro to
include/linux/const.h")
3. commit 95b980d62d52 ("linux/bits.h: make BIT(), GENMASK(), and
friends available in assembly")

2a6cc8a6c0cb will have a minor conflict in include/uapi/linux/const.h because
commit a85cbe6159ff ("uapi: move constants from <linux/kernel.h> to
<linux/const.h>")
was backported before 2a6cc8a6c0cb as b732e14e6218b (in 4.14).
Attached is a compile tested (x86 make CC=clang) mbox for 4.14.y.
Please let me know if that works for you.
