The kernel error is fixed by commit 4cb8c3593bbb ("irda: stop calling
sk_prot->disconnect() on connection failure"). That should stop the
kernel problems, but I'm not sure it will then allow things to work
past that. I don't think I ever got confirmation of that (and the oops
happens on a connection error, not in the success case)

That commit is in linux-3.18, so if you can upgrade your kernel to
try, that would be good.
