     * \brief
     * Scramble an input stream using an LFSR.
     *
     * \details
     * This block scrambles up to 8 bits per byte of the input
     * data stream, starting at the LSB.
     *
     * The scrambler works by XORing the incoming bit stream by the
     * output of the LFSR. Optionally, after \p count bits have been
     * processed, the shift register is reset to the \p seed value.
     * This allows processing fixed length vectors of samples.
     *
     * Alternatively, the LFSR can be reset using a reset tag to
     * scramble variable length vectors. However, it cannot be reset
     * between bytes.
     *
     * For details on configuring the LFSR, see gr::digital::lfsr.
