+config COMPRESS_RAMSTAGE_LZ4
+ bool "Compress ramstage with LZ4"
+ help
+ LZ4 doesn't give as good compression as LZMA, but decompresses much
+ faster. For large binaries such as ramstage, it's typically best to
+ use LZMA, but there can be cases where the faster decompression of
+ LZ4 can lead to a faster boot time. Testing on each individual board
+ is typically going to be needed due to the large number of factors
+ that can influence the decision. Binary size, CPU speed, ROM read
+ speed, cache, and other factors all play a part.
+
+ If you're not sure, stick with LZMA.
