rt2x00: Driver requiring firmware should select crc algo
The driver should select what CRC algorithm is required when performing a checksum on the firmware. rt61pci & rt73usb require crc-itu-t rt2800pci & rt2800usb require crc-ccitt Legacy 2800pci/usb driver uses crc-itu-t + bit order reversion, but that is just inefficient especially since the end result is the same as a different algorithm which is also available as library. ;) Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
