I've got a feedback from sashiko bot.

1. We need to do #if IS_DEFINED(CONFIG_CRC32) instead of #ifdef,
because it may be a module.
2. Selecting GENERIC_BITREVERSE without BITREVERSE causes the unmet
direct dependency warning:

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for GENERIC_BITREVERSE
Depends on [n]: BITREVERSE [=n]
Selected by [m]:
- MYCONFIG [=m]

I'll send a v2 to fix it

Thanks,
