Subject: [PATCH v4] zram: break the strict dependency from lzo
Date:   Wed, 28 Oct 2020 11:59:21 +0000
Message-Id: <20201028115921.848-1-rsalvaterra@gmail.com>

There's nothing special about zram and lzo. It works just fine without it, so
as long as at least one of the other supported compression algorithms is
selected.

Suggested-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@gmail.com>

v4: incorporate Sergey's feedback and fix a small typo.
v3: fix the default selection when lzo isn't present. Rebase against 5.10-rc1.
v2: fix the dependency on CRYPTO.
