[U-Boot] [PATCH] LZO: Add a LZO compression feature

[Wolfgang Denk]

Dear Donggeun Kim,

Can you please explain what use cases you have in mind?

So far, we provide only uncompression functions, and it seems nobody
ever needed compression inside U-Boot yet?

If we really add this, then please make it separately configurable, so
that not everybody who wants LZO decompression always has to accept
the compression functions, too.

What exactly are the licensing terms?
