Yes. I tried this test. It works as expected.

Setup:
------

-------------------      ---------------------------

        |---> 1st LAN8651 ---> IP: 192.168.5.100
RPI4 1 |
        |---> 2nd LAN8651 ---> IP: 192.168.5.100

        |---> 1st EVB-LAN8670-USB ---> IP: 192.168.5.101
RPI4 2 |
        |---> 2nd EVB-LAN8670-USB ---> IP: 192.168.6.101

Test case 1:
------------
  RPI4 1 (Sender):
  ----------------
   $ iperf3 -c 192.168.5.101 -u -b 5M -i 1 -t 0 -p 5001
   $ iperf3 -c 192.168.6.101 -u -b 5M -i 1 -t 0 -p 5002
  RPI4 2 (Receiver):
  ------------------
   $ iperf3 -s -p 5001
  RPI4 3 (Receiver):
  ------------------
   $ iperf3 -s -p 5002
  Result on RPI4 side:
  --------------------
   Each LAN8651 transmits 5Mbps without any error.

Test case 2:
------------
  RPI4 1 (Sender):
  ----------------
   $ iperf3 -c 192.168.5.101 -u -b 10M -i 1 -t 0 -p 5001
   $ iperf3 -c 192.168.6.101 -u -b 10M -i 1 -t 0 -p 5002
  RPI4 2 (Receiver):
  ------------------
   $ iperf3 -s -p 5001
  RPI4 3 (Receiver):
  ------------------
   $ iperf3 -s -p 5002
  Result on RPI4 side:
  --------------------
   Each LAN8651 transmitting approximately 5 or 6Mbps without any error.

Test case 3:
-----------------------
  RPI4 1 (Receiver):
  ----------------
   $ iperf3 -s -p 5001
   $ iperf3 -s -p 5002
  RPI4 2 (Sender):
  ----------------
   $ iperf3 -c 192.168.5.100 -u -b 5M -i 1 -t 0 -p 5001
  RPI4 3 (Sender):
  ----------------
   $ iperf3 -c 192.168.6.100 -u -b 5M -i 1 -t 0 -p 5002
  Result on RPI4 side:
  --------------------
   Each LAN8651 received 5Mbps without any error.

Test case 4:
-----------------------
  RPI4 1 (Receiver):
  ------------------
   $ iperf3 -s -p 5001
   $ iperf3 -s -p 5002
  RPI4 2 (Sender):
  ----------------
   $ iperf3 -c 192.168.5.100 -u -b 10M -i 1 -t 0 -p 5001
  RPI4 3 (Sender):
  ----------------
   $ iperf3 -c 192.168.6.100 -u -b 10M -i 1 -t 0 -p 5002
  Result on RPI4 side:
  --------------------
   Each LAN8651 received approximately 3Mbps with lot of "Receive buffer 
overflow error". I think it is expected as the single SPI master has to 
serve both LAN8651 at the same time and both LAN8651 will be receiving 
10Mbps on each.

Please let me know if I have any misunderstanding here or you need more 
details on the test cases.
