Hi,
One additional thing happening in your system (not sure if this is related to the slowdown): during the kernel boot there is a delay of about six seconds while kernel is waiting for CPU1: [ 0.487263] Booting Node 0, Processors #1 [ 6.543573] CPU1: Not responding.
See in the /proc/cpuinfo the core 1 is not listed.
This issue is caused by a different processor LAPIC ID of the bootstrap processor... Changing the LAPIC ID in the devicetree.cb file from 0 to 4 will fix this issue, see also: https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2018-June/086874.html
But my guess is that this is not changing the system performance at all. Probably the only side effect is the bad cpu enumeration...
Kind regards, Sumo

The reason for the poor performance was not working SVID bus. Understand exactly what settings affect the enabling/disabling SVID bus failed to find out. The problem was solved by choosing another platform in spsFITs (Aspen Cove instead of Harcuvar). After that, the SVID bus started to work, we saw the clock signals (25 MHz), saw the exchange of data between the processor and the PMICs. Performance came in the expected frame :). If someone knows which settings, Straps, gpio and so on affect the enabling/disabling SVID bus - please write here.
