* lib: crc8: pointer to data block should be constRichard Fitzgerald2021-05-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | crc8() does not change the data passed to it, so the pointer argument should be declared const. This avoids callers that receive const data having to cast it to a non-const pointer to call crc8().

* docs: clean up and add rest of CRC functions to kernel-api.rstRandy Dunlap2017-09-261-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add the rest of the CRC library functions to kernel-api. - try to clarify crc32() by adding '@' to a function parameter - reorder kernel-api CRC functions to be less random - add more CRC functions to kernel-api - correct the function parameter names in several places Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
* lib: crc8: add new library module providing crc8 algorithmArend van Spriel2011-06-031-0/+86
The brcm80211 driver in staging tree uses a crc8 function. Based on feedback from John Linville to move this to lib directory, the linux source has been searched. Although there is currently only one other kernel driver using this algorithm (ie. drivers/ssb) we are providing this as a library function for others to use.
