It might help with fast SPI comms (or UART) if you want to reduce the slow CRC calculation bottle neck with the TMC chips.
You can increase the 8-bit CRC calculation by quite a LOT if you wanted, I've written a couple of table driven CRC routines (a fast and a medium speed) ..
// define none or one of these
//#define CRC_FAST
//#define CRC_MEDIUM

#define CRC8_POLYR 0x07 // 0000 0111 X^8 + X^2 + X^1 + X^0
