Subject: [PATCH] Add option to disable kernel compression
Date: Tue,  9 Apr 2013 13:49:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1365508161-32154-1-git-send-email-christian.ruppert@abilis.com> (raw)

Until now, kernel compression can only be disabled by deselecting
HAVE_<compression> in the architecture Kconfig. However, some
users/platforms within the same architecture might want to use
compression while others might want to disable it.
This patch is a solution to the dilemma.
