+ * parity8 - get the parity of an u8 value
+ * @value: the value to be examined
+ *
+ * Determine the parity of the u8 argument.
+ *
+ * Returns:
+ * 0 for even parity, 1 for odd parity
+ *
+ * Note: This function informs you about the current parity. Example to bail
+ * out when parity is odd:
+ *
+ *	if (parity8(val) == 1)
+ *		return -EBADMSG;
+ *
+ * If you need to calculate a parity bit, you need to draw the conclusion from
+ * this result yourself. Example to enforce odd parity, parity bit is bit 7:
+ *
+ *	if (parity8(val) == 0)
+ *		val ^= BIT(7);
