Hi There,
If a compression driver were submitted upstream that used HW LZO decompression
and SW LZO compression, could it be accepted? It would be geared towards
decompressing boot images on IOT-type targets with exteremely limited secondary
storage.
Thanks,
Chris.

Who is the intended user in the kernel? In general, Crypto API
drivers will be accepted if there is at least one in-kernel user.
Thanks,
