so the rt2x00 driver will be converted to use this lib/ code?

what does 0x0x.... mean?  and aren't poly exponents usually
listed in descending order?  or should the 15 be 5?

Please use Linux kernel-doc format.  See
Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt.  Basically:

 * crc_itu_t - compute the CRC-ITU-T for the data buffer

and make parameter changes below:

 * @crc:	previous CRC value
 * @buffer:	data pointer
 * @len:	number of bytes in the buffer
 *
 * Returns the updated CRC value.
