The struct declarations would be sufficient.

When and how does this need to be fixed, if at all?

This is so verbose as to be unhelpful.  Since the following constants
only refer to symbol time, it should be sufficient to refer to the
specified symbol rates.

Don't use two asterisks at the start of a comment unless it's in
kernel-doc format.

...and definitely don't use Doxygen format.

Define it or delete it.

Yes but what are these *for*?

This can probably be handled by crc_itu_t_bitreversed():

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/dists/trunk/linux-2.6/debian/patches/features/all/lib-crcitut-bit-reversed.patch

(That patch hasn't gone anywhere yet as Greg K-H is dragging his heels
over actually fixing his crap, but feel free to resubmit it as part of
your own patch series.)

Why are some of these commented out?  Since they're apparently exposed
to user-space you can't insert them later.

This all looks very unfinished - as do several other sections with
FIXME, #if 0, commented-out code...

Speling misstake.
