I just ran the script and the above code turned to:

diff --git a/drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN/hfcmulti.c b/drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN/hfcmulti.c
index 4f7eaa17fb27..2695bbde52db 100644

        spin_lock_irqsave(&hc->lock, flags);
 
        if (dch->timer.function) {
-               del_timer(&dch->timer);
+               timer_shutdown(&dch->timer);
                dch->timer.function = NULL;
        }
 
Which is silly. Because timer_shutdown() makes timer.function = NULL.

That's why I changed it. And it really shouldn't be touching
timer.function anyway.
