[avr-libc-dev] CRC-8-CCITT

[Frédéric Nadeau]

Hi there,

I'm working on with
LTC6802(http://cds.linear.com/docs/Datasheet/68021fa.pdf page 21)
which uses CRC-8-CCITT(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check
x^8 + x^2 + x + 1). The util/crc16.h (well I'm not quite sure why it
is called crc16, but that is another story) could include a function
to compute the CRC-8-CCITT. I found this BSD project that has the code
implemented and it worked for me.

Any chance this could be added to the library?
I'll work on a patch file this would be welcome in the three.
