+ *	crc16.h - CRC-16 routine
+ *
+ * Implements the standard CRC-16, as used with 1-wire devices:
+ *   Width 16
+ *   Poly  0x8005 (x^16 + x^15 + x^2 + 1)
+ *   Init  0
+ *
+ * For 1-wire devices, the CRC is stored inverted, LSB-first
+ *
+ * Example buffer with the CRC attached:
+ *   31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 C2 44
+ *
+ * The CRC over a buffer with the CRC attached is 0xB001.
+ * So, if (crc16(0, buf, size) == 0xB001) then the buffer is valid.
+ *
+ * Refer to "Application Note 937: Book of iButton Standards" for details.
