coding: fix bit ordering in 11-bit RACH coding functions

According to 3GPP TS 44.004, figure 7.4a.b, the format of 11-bit
RACH uplink / Uplink access burst block is as defined follows:

  <---------------------------------------------------

      8     7     6     5     4     3     2     1
  +--------------------------------------------------+
  |  11 bit RACH uplink / Uplink access burst block  | OCT1
  +--------------------------------------------------+
                                 |                   | OCT2
                                 +-------------------+

As was (correctly) assumed in [1], the bit ordering in 11-bit RACH
coding functions is wrong. The problem is that neither of generic
functions from bit16gen.h can be used to load / store the RA11
value (regardless of the endianness), because they assume that
the payload is 16 bit long.

With this patch applied, RA11 values from [1] look correct:

  < EGPRS Packet channel request message content > ::=
    < Signalling : 110011  < RandomBits : 00111 > > |
    < Signalling : 110011  < RandomBits : 00110 > > |
    < Signalling : 110011  < RandomBits : 01111 > > |
    < Signalling : 110011  < RandomBits : 01100 > > |
    < Signalling : 110011  < RandomBits : 00111 > > |
    < Signalling : 110011  < RandomBits : 10110 > > ;

libosmocore - set of Osmocom core libraries

This repository contains a set of C-language libraries that form the core infrastructure of many Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications projects.

Historically, a lot of this code was developed as part of the OpenBSC project, but which are of a more generic nature and thus useful to (at least) other programs that we develop in the sphere of Free Software / Open Source mobile communications.

There is no clear scope of it. We simply move all shared code between the various Osmocom projects in this library to avoid code duplication.

The libosmcoore.git repository build multiple libraries:

  • libosmocore contains some general-purpose functions like select-loop abstraction, message buffers, timers, linked lists
  • libosmovty contains routines related to the interactive command-line interface called VTY
  • libosmogsm contains definitions and helper code related to GSM protocols
  • libosmoctrl contains a shared implementation of the Osmocom control interface
  • libosmogb contains an implementation of the Gb interface with its NS/BSSGP protocols
  • libosmocodec contains an implementation of GSM voice codecs
  • libosmocoding contains an implementation of GSM channel coding
  • libosmosim contains infrastructure to interface SIM/UICC/USIM cards
  • libosmotrau contains encoding/decoding functions for A-bis TRAU frames
