   The race described here makes sense, especially since `tcp_timer_expiry()` 
can still be executing while `tcp_free()` clears the connection state.
   
   Using `work_cancel_sync()` looks like a reasonable fix because it ensures 
the queued timer callback has finished before the connection structure is 
released. It would be useful to confirm whether the callback can still be 
running when `tcp_free()` reaches `net_bufpool_free()`, and whether this is the 
intended synchronization model for TCP timers.
   
   I’d be interested in testing a minimal fix using `work_cancel_sync()` and 
checking whether it also covers the deadlock case described in the issue.
