In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer() to pass the timer pointer explicitly. This requires adding a pointer to hold the timer's target substream, as there won't be a way to pass this in the future.

This requires commit 686fef928bba ("timer: Prepare to change timer callback argument type") in v4.14-rc3, but should be otherwise stand-alone.
The conversions look straightforward, so I'm going to apply it (and other two you posted). But now I wonder why only three were chosen. Will you keep working on the rest usages in sound/*, or would you expect us doing the rest?
thanks,
