This does two completely independent changes at once. What the heck has
increasing min delta to do with converting it to timer_of() helpers?

Nothing at all. So please split this into two distinct patches. Each doing
ONE thing.

See Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:

  3) Separate your changes
  ------------------------

  Separate each **logical change** into a separate patch.

Reading, understanding and complying with that document is not optional.

Thanks,
