This doesn't look good to me.
In big-endian arch, suppose you read 0xab as the crc.
In that case, won't crc be equal to 0xab00 instead of 0x00ab in this code ? If
that's the case, the previous code was right ...

Does that mean that the code up there doesn't work on big endian ? I'm really
puzzled, as the sender sends in big endian, the xy_gets() receives the bytes
into crcs[2], and the be16_to_cpu() should be a no-op ...

I think that we should do this simpler :
  crc = crcs[0] << 8 + crcs[1]

I'll put that into my github branch for testing.

Cheers.
