[RFC] lib: crc8: add new library module providing crc8 algorithm

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. ...

True, a different init value likely results in a different good value. Actually, it doesn't. The good value is only non-zero to compensate for the final byte inversion. You'll notice that it's equal to crc8_table[0xff], where oxff is the XOR ...
