I believe the definition of a segment break in White Space Processing Details[1] makes this point very clear; CSS does not make any preferences nor suggestions on CR, LF, or CRLF.

4.1.2 mentions LF only because it’s talking about transforming segment breaks defined above to LF, which looks fine to me.
