Ok, so for now we do crc=1 by default. Now we'd like to have crc
support configurable in the dts. But if we just introduce "crc;"
option, it will break old dts users. We could introduce "no-crc;" and
that would work in this particular case, but will break when we want
different defaults at different devices.

Anyway, introducing "no-crc;" seems pretty ugly to me. I'd rather do
"crc=<0>;", in a similar way we handle other options now.

Best regards,
