Ick, no.  That's not needed at all, a function is always much better.

And a good compiler will just inline this, are you _sure_ you are
actually changing anything here?

But most importantly, why not just use the build-in crc7 functionality
that the kernel already provides?  Don't have a duplicate version here.

That would be a much better cleanup, right?

thanks,
