Please, add a Sphinx style comment describing what the attribute is to
be used for.

It is unclear for me if the relevant property of crc_table[] is the
const attribute or if it is that the array is initialized.

Can you please, check this by LTO compiling without initializing
crc_table[] and in a separate run without const so that we gain a clear
understanding.

Best regards
