2 * This version of rand() has been lifted from Ancient UNIX, and modified

3 * to match the version used in TI's TCS211 GSM firmware, as revealed by

8 * but with one change: TI's return value is right-shifted by 16 bits

9 * compared to what the Ancient UNIX rand() would have returned.

10 * The caller thus gets back only 15 pseudo-random bits rather than 31,
