From e18baa7cc3598999317d6c2fe255756f6b3b7562 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Fitzgerald Date: Thu, 6 May 2021 18:03:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] lib: crc8: pointer to data block should be const crc8() does not change the data passed to it, so the pointer argument should be declared const. This avoids callers that receive const data having to cast it to a non-const pointer to call crc8().
