Hi,
this is a revised patch set for RFC I posted some time ago (*). Since the ZSTD usage became much more popular now, it makes sense to have the consistent (de)compression support in the kernel, also for the firmware files. This patch set adds the support for ZSTD- compressed firmware files as well as the extension of selftests, in addition to a couple of relevant fixes in selftests.

Russ had posted a set of patches which this likely needs to be rebased on top of. Russ however has to address one kernel splat found by 0day, so I'd expect a new set and then perhaps this can be based on that?
Sure, it should be fine, as the code change there is quite minimal. Let me know if the base branch becomes ready.
thanks,
Takashi
