Subject: lib: cleanup "fake" tristates in Kconfig
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 22:03:11 +0100
These 7 DECOMPRESS_ options (e.g. DECOMPRESS_GZIP) currently have the
tristate type, but can never be set to M. Their only valid values are Y
and N, making them effectively booleans.
Let's make their types more accurate by changing them to 'bool'. Note
that this is only a code cleanup, there is no functional change.
These bistates were found by kconfirm, a static analysis tool for Kconfig.
