Thanks for an update! My comments below.

As required by coding style this tag should be accompanied with SoB of
co-developer(s).

For sake of consistency I would name _len as well.

I think 64-bit form is slightly better and more often

$ git grep -n -w 64bit | wc -l
809

$ git grep -n -w 64-bit | wc -l
2957

Ditto.

This (blank comment) line is not needed.

_len ?

Not needed line.

+ blank line? Would separate groups of headers logically.

I guess {0} would work as well (no comma).

Do wee need these? CRC32 case seems fine without.
