[U-Boot] [PATCH 6/8] lib: import bitrev library from linux kernel

[Marek Vasut]

Dear Mike Dunn,

> This patch adds the bitrev library from the linux kernel.  This is a simple
> algorithm that uses an 8 bit look-up table to reverse the bits in data
> types of 8, 16, or 32 bit widths.  The docg4 nand flash driver uses it.

Do we really need to expose the array and use so many externs here?
