ok until 3.8 how can I use this block without making mistakes?

If for example want the following polynomials (copy from [1])

                   x^4 + x^3 + x^0 = 0x19
                   x^5 + x^3 + x^0 = 0x29
                   x^6 + x^5 + x^0 = 0x61

do I have to set the length to 5,6,7 respectively?

So, yes, I think I agree, and length should at least be 8 here (your polynomial has degree 7), and it's a bit uncommon to see a LFSR being used without the x^0 coefficient. 

Agree.  This was a poor implementation decision by someone who clearly didn't know what he was doing at the time :-)

I've been wanting to fix this for a long time; looks like 3.8 would be a good chance to break this properly.
