Using __le64 here makes no sense, because that type indicates the endianness of
the *bytes*, whereas with CRC's "little endian" and "big endian" refer to the
order in which the *bits* are mapped to the polynomial coefficients.

Also as you can see for lib/crc32.c you really only need to provide a function

u64 __pure crc64_le(u64 crc, unsigned char const *p, size_t len);

and the callers can invert at the beginning and/or end if needed.

Also your function names make it sound like inverting the bits is the exception
or not recommended, since you called the function which does the inversions
"crc32_le_bch()" so it sounds like a bcache-specific hack, while the one that
doesn't do the inversions is simply called "crc32_le()". But actually it's
normally recommended to do CRC's with the inversions, so that leading and
trailing zeroes affect the resulting CRC.

Okay, that's actually the ECMA-182 polynomial in "big endian" form (highest
order bit is the coefficient of x^63, lowest order bit is the coefficient of
x^0), so you're actually doing a "big endian" CRC. So everything in your patch
series that claims it's a little endian or "le" CRC is incorrect.

See here, it's shifting out the most significant bit, which means it's the
coefficient of the x^63 term ("big endian" or "normal" convention), not the x^0
term ("little endian" or "reversed" convention).
