RAK2287L uplink packets corrupt

We run lora_pkt_fwd to drive RAK2287L on Digi ccimx6ulsbc Linux kernel 5.4.84 for EU433 region.
Same application and drivers running fine on RAK2287 with US915 and EU868 setups.
But with RAK2287L, we see lots of problematic packets as well as data loss related to these symptoms:
1, fcnts from the same mote came in out of order:

2, both fcnts and motes are random numbers. Each mote is unique in the whole log and doesn’t exist in OTAA activation records. Also, our normal fcnts do not exceed 2 digits:

3,1/3 of the local traffic are uplink packets with ‘data’ field duplicated from the previous downlink packet ‘data’ field

Something is seriously wrong with RAK2287L. Please work with me on solving this problem ASAP
