Commit 23cfbc6ec44e ("firmware: Add the support for ZSTD-compressed
firmware files") added support for ZSTD compression, but in the process
also made the previously default XZ compression a config option.
That means that anybody who upgrades their kernel and does a
make oldconfig
to update their configuration, will end up without the XZ compression
that the configuration used to have.
Add the 'default y' to make sure this doesn't happen.
The whole compression question should probably be improved upon, since
it is now possible to "enable" compression in the kernel config but not
enable any actual compression algorithm, which makes it all very
useless. It makes no sense to ask Kconfig questions that enable
situations that are nonsensical like that.
This at least fixes the immediate problem of a kernel update resulting
in a nonbootable machine because of a missed option.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
