Oops, that was a typo of mine. Of course it's LAI := MCC MNC LAC.

Unfortunately the specs themselves are not consistent with respect to
this, GSM 08.18 is using the British variant. Thus the identifier in
gsm_08_18.h also use the ROUTEING variant.

The C file already was mixing the British and the American English
variants. This commit didn't add any 'rout(e)ing' term, it focused on
the 'code' issue.

While I agree that we should strive for consistency, I'd rather put it
into a specific commit when we've settled on which variant shall be taken.
