From 3e4e0f0a8756dade3023d1f47d50fbced7749788 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Bolle Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 14:37:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] initramfs: remove "compression mode" choice Commit 9ba4bcb64589 ("initramfs: read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs compression") removed the users of the various INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_* Kconfig symbols. So since v3.13 the entire "Built-in initramfs compression mode" choice is a set of knobs connected to nothing. The entire choice can safely be removed.
