Not sure whether you mean the source code or the object code. I build
kernel with debug symbols so the sizes are bit higher.
nm will tell you the actual sizes. I think the n_gsm code is about 500
bytes or so and chunks of it inline.
Not counting the crc table I assume.
I forget but I think including - its a tiny tiny bit of code once inlined.

I used nm on both flavours.

dynamic crc table based on polynomial and bit order
---------------------------------------------------
00000000 00000026 T crc8
00000030 000000dc T crc8_create

fixed crc table with table selection based on bit order
-------------------------------------------------------
00000000 00000026 T crc8
00000030 0000002b T crc8_create
00000100 00000100 r crc8_table_lsb
00000000 00000100 r crc8_table_msb

The first requires the user to provide buffer to hold the table. The difference is in the crc_create() function (maybe better named crc_populate_table() in first, and crc_select_table() in second). It is 177 bytes larger. The crc calculating function is 38 bytes. Still pretty small I would think.
