Hi,

I agree with Dan. rf69_enable_sync() / rf69_disable_sync() is clear. If
there are more functions like this (e.g. for crc) then we'll just split
those functions as well.

If you really want one single function for enabling/disabling then I
think that you need to find a better name. Something like
rf69_set_sync_operation(bool), rf69_set_crc_operation(bool), etc.
