More comments:
* if ether_crc is always == ether_crc_be, then create a #define instead
of patching driver code
* no need to inline ether_crc_be, stick it in lib/crc32.c also
* using a ref-counting init_crc32 and cleanup_crc32, you do not need
CONFIG_xxx tests, per driver, in the code itself. Either make
lib/crc32 a permanent part of the kernel, or make it a separate module
which is enabled by makefile rules. Example:
(linux/lib/Makefile)
obj-$(CONFIG_TULIP) += crc32.o
obj-$(CONFIG_NATSEMI) += crc32.o
obj-$(CONFIG_DMFE) += crc32.o
obj-$(CONFIG_ANOTHERDRIVER) += crc32.o
makefile rules eliminate the duplicates...
