Hi Marcelo,

This bug prevent most users to establish PPP session to their
mobile phones over IrDA. This fixes it.
Please apply ;-)

ir241_ircomm_uninit_fix-6.diff :
------------------------------
o [FEATURE] Fix spelling UNITIALISED => UNINITIALISED
o [CORRECT] Accept data from TTY before link initialisation
This seems necessary to avoid chat (via pppd) dropping chars
o [CRITICA] Remember allocated skb size to avoid to over-write it
o [FEATURE] Remove LM-IAS object once connected
o [CORRECT] Avoid declaring link ready when it's not true
