Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] lib/crc7: Shift crc7() output left 1 bit

This eliminates a 1-bit left shift in every single caller,
and makes the inner loop of the CRC computation more efficient.

Renamed crc7 to crc7_be (big-endian) since the interface changed.

Also purged #include <linux/crc7.h> from files that don't use it at all.

v2: Functions renamed to reflect different results; Pavel Machek
prompted me to think of something not too ugly.

Since all of the affected drivers are officially orphaned, this is
being sent to a hodge-podge of people who touched the files recently.
Assuming the MMC people don't complain, is it okay to send this through
the wireless tree?

Feel free to take it through the wireless tree.

If the whole point of this is to use it for MMC/SD cards, why not just
also subsume the OR 1 and call it crc7_mmc() or something like that.

(Which I'm all for doing... I don't know of any other crc7 users.)

You'll find all users in my patch series.  2/3 updates the MMC
card, while 3/3 hits drivers/net/wireless/ti/wl1251/spi.c and
drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore/spi.c (which I'm pretty sure aren't
MMC/SPI cards).

Now, it turns out that they *also* set the lsbit (calling it
WSPI_INIT_CMD_END).  However, it's not possible to put that into the CRC
table (it would mess up all bytes but the last), so an explicitly coded
"| 1" is required at the end.  Thic ends up being no saving at all to
execution path length, and only moves one instruction from three drivers
to shared code.  While making it harder to read the drivers.

A microscopic space saving (if and only if you have more than one of these
drivers loaded) and no performance improvement didn't seem worth it to me.

Seems to me to make the code easier to read, not harder. That was the whole point.

I thought it made it harder by moving the terminating 1 bit out of the
driver proper, where it has a symbolic name.  Thus someone comparing
the driver to the spec has to read another source file to figure out
how the driver gets that bit set.

As it is, the straight-line code in the driver corresponds very simply
with the packet as illustrated in the data sheets.

I agree it's really really minor either way, but so is the saving
we're going for.

Since it's not *clearly* an improvement, I err on the side of not
messing with a driver I can't test.
