Could you try it at lower speeds. What happens?

Since it is a 10Mbps media, if the SPI speed is lower than 15MHz,
maybe it cannot keep up with the media? But this clock speed on its
own is not the deciding factor, there could be other users of the SPI
bus. I would expect the driver and device to keep working if the SPI
bus is saturated, just not give the full 10Mbps. And it would also be
a good test the device and driver do work correctly when the bus is
saturated.
