 *
 * @brief       CRC16-CCITT checksum algorithm
 * @details     This implementation of CRC16 is based on the CCITT
 *              specification using 0x1D0F as a start value.
 *              Using a different start value is possible by calling
 *              crc16_ccitt_update() with the desired start value
 *              instead of crc16_ccitt_calc().
 *
 *              There is a more generalized version in @ref sys_checksum_ucrc16,
 *              that does not utilize a look-up table as this implementation
 *              does (and is thus also for more memory efficient). Its caveat
 *              however is that it is slower by about factor 8 than this version.
