As far as I know on this STM32 F4 platform there is some trouble with timer
events that may have bad influences on scheduling. Some tasks could be delayed
for some reasons.
It would be great if the following patches below could help in your matter
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9980961/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9980963/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9980965/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9980967/

Would you mind to test those ?
Thanks
