There are multiple open coded implementations for getting the parity of a byte in the kernel, even using different approaches. Take the pretty efficient version from SPD5118 driver and make it generally available by putting it into the bitops header. As long as there is just one parity calculation helper, the creation of a distinct 'parity.h' header was discarded. Also, the usage of hweight8() for architectures having a popcnt instruction is postponed until a use case within hot paths is desired. The motivation for this patch is the frequent use of odd parity in the I3C specification and to simplify drivers there. Changes compared to the original SPD5118 version are the addition of kernel documentation, switching the return type from bool to int, and renaming the argument of the function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
