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.
