Dear Donggeun Kim,

In some case, LZO compression function is needed in U-Boot.
Can you please explain what use cases you have in mind?
There's request from other team. They want to transfer the binary but it's written as ubifs filesystem. So download the binary to RAM and then mkfs.ubifs at this address and ubinize it finally. Then write it to flash. When mkfs.ubifs, it requires it.
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.
Agree, It will use the CONFIG_LZO_COMPRESSION
This patch supports LZO compression feature which is originated from Linux kernel.

What exactly are the licensing terms?
It's from kernel code. do you want to add the GPL v2?
Thank you, Kyungmin Park
