Subject: [PATCH v2] net: ethernet: freescale: Use generic CRC32 implementation

Use generic kernel CRC32 implementation because it:
1. Should be faster (uses lookup tables),
2. Removes duplicated CRC generation code,
3. Uses well-proven algorithm instead of coding it one more time.

Suggested-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers3@...il.com>
