Please double check your setup. Are you 100% sure you are not still
sending HCI_OP_NOP as opcode?

This is the diff I use for debugging on top of your patchset:

With that I see:

[   18.860381] DBG: ZZZzzzzzzz
[   18.863332] DBG: cancelling command timer (opcode = 0x42)
[   21.427085] DBG: good morning!


The timer is clearly cancelled by the injected command (opcode 0x42)
and no timeout occurs. I wouldn't expect you to see anything vastly
different.
