Subject: [PATCH RESEND v3] Trivial comment fix for the CRC ITU-T polynom
Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2021 15:07:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210831130702.31526-1-roger@norberthealth.com> (raw)

This patch fixes a small typo in the CRC ITU-T polynom documentation.

The code comment says that the polynom is x^16 + x^12 + x^15 + 1, but the
correct polynom is x^16 + x^12 + x^5 + 1.

Quote from page 2 in the ITU-T V.41 specification:
  "2 Encoding and checking process

  The service bits and information bits, taken in conjunction, correspond
  to the coefficients of a message polynomial having terms from x^(n-1)
  (n = total number of bits in a block or sequence) down to x^16. This
  polynomial is divided, modulo 2, by the generating polynomial
  x^16 + x^12 + x^5 + 1. [...]"

Source: https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-V.41-198811-I/en

The hex polynom 0x1021 and CRC code implementation are correct.
