I've prepared a patch for r3129 WITH the definition of the static function..
This is a great achievement, but I really miss more discussion of what was neccessary to do.
This patch allows direct out-of-SPI-flash boot of a Linux kernel. It circumvents the 512KB limitation in the IT8716f superio of memory mapping an SPI flash device by using a PIO method for reading the data. Limitation: no nrv2b support.
Please explain further. Why would a new reading method affect any compression methods?
Not until I actually looked at the patch was there any mention of adding a "chunked" LZMA mode, and that was only in your (C) notice.
What does this patch do, exactly, and how do your new bits work?
