[PATCH 0/6] lib: rework bitreverse

From: Yury Norov

Date: Thu Apr 30 2026 - 17:14:19 EST


This series is a resend for Jinjie Ruan's "arch/riscv: Add bitrev.h file
to support rev8 and brev8" [1], my follow-up "lib: compile generic
bitrev based on GENERIC_BITREVERSE" [2], and the fix for a build error
reported by Nathan Chancellor [3].

No changes, except for combining pieces together and rebasing on top of
the tree.

Build-tested against x86 tinyconfig and defconfig, having disabled and
enabiled CRC32 and BITREVERSE, correspondingly.

Jinjie Ruan (3):
lib/bitrev: Introduce GENERIC_BITREVERSE and cleanup Kconfig
bitops: Define generic __bitrev8/16/32 for reuse
arch/riscv: Add bitrev.h file to support rev8 and brev8

Yury Norov (3):
lib: include crc32.h conditionally on CONFIG_CRC32
lib: compile generic bitrev.c conditionally on GENERIC_BITREVERSE
