I didn't get a lockdep splat but console was flooded with warnings from
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.10-rc4/kernel/time/timer.c#L1655
In the linux kernel v5.15 I didn't see these warnings.

I'm not a maintainer of the driver and I didn't do any research on
what kind of impact
would have using del_timer() instad. Maybe Vladimir Zapolskiy will know that.
