So you need to keep going down and seeing where is EPROBE_DEFER is
coming from.

You are missing some resource somewhere, probably because you are
missing a driver. Sometimes it is worth running a distro kernel which
has nearly everything enabled as modules, so you can find out what you
actually need. Then use 'make localmodconfig' to reduce the
configuration down to just what you need.
