From d4bbe942098b0c9b487d424a3c545c9ed56462d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2021 22:38:10 +0900 Subject: kbuild: remove CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS is only used to activate the choice for module compression algorithm. It will be simpler to make the choice always visible, and add CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_NONE in the choice. This is more consistent with the "Kernel compression mode" and "Built-in initramfs compression mode" choices. CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED and CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE are available to choose no compression.
