Completely borked is not good.

Borked ! = performance issue. This should be addressed. Lets see if
the python scripts are enough to be able to reproduce it.

We should not rule out differences in SPI drivers. So it might be you
need to debug this, if Microchip cannot reproduce it.

I would also suggest you enable the "kernel hacking" debug features
for finding deadlocks, bad spinlocks, stuck RT tasks etc. That might
give some clues.
