Thanks for fixing this, I should have spotted it in my various
config tests but didn't.  I could add this to my squashfs-next patches
to stop the linux-next tree breakage, however, should it go into
Michal's kbuild -next tree instead?

This patch raises a small additional issue, why is DECOMPRESS_LZMA
(and DECOMPRESS_GZIP/DECOMPRESS_BZIP2) and defined as tristate?
None of the above compressors can be built as modules.

Regards

Phillip
