not really. that would be device specific

there are these


target/linux/brcm63xx/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/09_fix_crc
target/linux/brcm47xx/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/09_fix_crc
target/linux/bcm53xx/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/09_fix_crc
target/linux/ramips/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/09_fix-seama-header
target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/09_fix-trx-header

which all do essentially do what you want but for different platforms
