Thanks for the patch, but unfortunately it doesn't work, and I believe
we have to remove this package as it cannot be fixed I believe.
It fails to build with:
ERROR: modpost: "crc_ccitt_table" [dahdi.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "crc_ccitt_table" [wctdm24xxp/wctdm24xxp.ko] undefined!
This shouldn't happen because we do have:
define DAHDI_LINUX_LINUX_CONFIG_FIXUPS
$(call KCONFIG_ENABLE_OPT,CONFIG_CRC_CCITT)
endef
but the trick is that since Linux 6.15, lib/crc/ has been
significantly rewritte, and CONFIG_CRC_CCITT is now a blind option, so
we can't enable it anymore. The only way to enable it is to select
it... but that requires drivers that are in-tree. I've tried to find
another kernel option that selects CONFIG_CRC_CCITT, but none of the
ones that select it look generic enough to be used as a workaround to
get CONFIG_CRC_CCITT. So I'm tempted to say that we should remove
dahdi-linux. It is badly maintained, and should have been upstreamed
into the Linux kernel.
Best regards,
Thomas
