Dear Tabi Timur-B04825,

It is not crap, and it will not work by chance. It is not accessing random data, it is accessing the CRC in the old location, just like the current code does today.
If you have the CRC at 0xFC, and the CRC is incorrect, then it _will_ access random data, and result inundefined behaviour. Yes, this _is_ a crappy design.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
