This patch is for fixing encoding of padding bits according to the 3gpp spec 44.060 section 11, wherein it shall always start with 0 bit followed with spare padding bits.

During introduction of basic EGPRS feature new hex dump messages from a different working network log were used in Unit test. These exposed the issue of incorrect handling of padding bits encoding in osmo-pcu.

Corrections in the existing test vector and new hex dump vectors shall be submitted in a separate patch. If only this patch is applied rlcmac testsuite will fail for few vectors. --- src/csn1.cpp | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
