NAME
       encode_rs8 - Calculate the parity for data values (8bit data width)

SYNOPSIS
       int encode_rs8(struct rs_control * rs, uint8_t * data, int len, uint16_t * par,
                      uint16_t invmsk);

ARGUMENTS
       rs
           the rs control structure

       data
           data field of a given type

       len
           data length

       par
           parity data, must be initialized by caller (usually all 0)

       invmsk
           invert data mask (will be xored on data)

DESCRIPTION
       The parity uses a uint16_t data type to enable symbol size > 8. The calling code must take
       care of encoding of the syndrome result for storage itself.
