Squashfs: update Kconfig and documentation for LZO
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Update compression types supported and add some help text for
the LZO Kconfig option.

Also add missing "default n" line and make some trivial whitespace
cleanups too.

=======================

Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux.
It uses zlib compression to compress files, inodes and directories.
It uses zlib/lzo compression to compress files, inodes and directories.
Inodes in the system are very small and all blocks are packed to minimise
data overhead. Block sizes greater than 4K are supported up to a maximum
of 1Mbytes (default block size 128K).
