of course... although I should have known better I missed that as in the
BSP I used to develop this patch I include meta-rauc which offers zstd
(see [1]).

I could send a v2 that does not enable zstd by default, but still offers
the PACKAGECONFIG[zstd]. Otherwise if you like zstd to become a member
of OE-core (as the other supported compressors already are) I could
prepare a patch series with meta-rauc's zstd-recipe as a base for the
update of the squashfs-tools. In the latter case meta-rauc could drop
that recipe in the future and that's what we would prefer. What do you
think?

Best regards
Ulrich
