Looks to me like you've found a particular set of configuration options
that doesn't work...
Looks to me like you turned on the infra-red stuff (IRDA), which is
trying to call some function, perhaps in some other module, which has
been turned off and is not being included in the build. If you don't
need IRDA, your simplest solution would be to turn it off.
Otherwise, grep the kernel source for irttp_cleanup, figure out what you
have to turn on to get it defined, and do so. This requires more
programming skill...
A useful way to run grep is to run this from the top dir of kernel source:
find . -type f | xargs grep irttp_cleanup
Look up the man pages to figure out what it does. The character between
the 'f' and the 'xargs' is the vertical bar character, not a 1 or an l -
it connects the output of find to the input of xargs.
