This patch makes the dependency on kmod-lib-crc32c for the batman-adv package conditional: it is only required for Linux kernel 6.12. For kernel 6.18 and newer, the dependency is no longer needed. This prevents installing unnecessary modules on newer kernels. Signed-off-by: Mieczyslaw Nalewaj <namiltd@poczta.onet.pl>

To be more factual correct: The CONFIG_LIBCRC32C dependency is gone since Linux v6.15-rc2. batman-adv is since then only depending on CONFIG_CRC32 - which is activated automatically by the generic kernel configuration.
