Re: [PATCH v4] Bluetooth: schedule SCO timeouts with delayed_work

I don’t see a reason why we can’t switch to lock_sock, but lets do that in a separate patch in case I missed something it is easier to revert.

I don’t like the sk_timer name. That is confusing. Maybe better use timeout_work or to_work. The sk_* are really more struct sock fields (hence the sk->sk_xyz naming schema).

I don’t get the extra variable here. Can we not just pass in struct hci_conn.

Same as above, we pass in struct sock just for the debug message.

Other than these minor cleanups, this looks great.
