CRC32 endianess

[Wouter Joris]

Dear U-boot maintainers,

I'm working on an Xilinx Zynqmp project ( Checkout tag xilinx-v2019.1 
<https://github.com/Xilinx/u-boot-xlnx/tree/xilinx-v2019.1> ) (ARM 
Cortex A53 ) and I'm facing an endianess mix-up. I'm no C-code guru, so 
I hope you'll stick here with me for a while.

In this example I'm performing a random crc check, the result was placed 
into memory.

  * ZynqMP> crc32 0x8000 0x8002 0x7999
  * crc32 0x8000 0x8002
  * crc32 for 00008000 ... 00010001 ==> 0c9cf37c

This is the result of the CRC read-back:

  * ZynqMP> md 7999 1
  * 00007999: 7cf39c0c

Also the itest confirms something is wrong with the result.

  * ZynqMP> if itest *7999 == 7cf39c0c; then echo true; else echo false; fi
  * true

  * ZynqMP> if itest *7999 == 0c9cf37c; then echo true; else echo false; fi
  * false

I know there was an historic bug 
<https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/1365203470-9099-1-git-send-email-sjg@chromium.org/> 
about the crc endianess describing this exact problem but this issue 
seems to be addressed in later releases, as far as I know.

Uboot Xilinx crc32.c L172 
<https://github.com/Xilinx/u-boot-xlnx/blob/xilinx-v2019.1/lib/crc32.c#L172>


Can you give any advice how to proceed?

Kind regards,

Wouter Joris
