+Subject: [PATCH] regmap: make LZO cache optional
+
+Commit 2cbbb579bcbe3 ("regmap: Add the LZO cache support") added support
+for LZO compression in regcache, but there were never any users added
+afterwards. Since LZO support itself has its own size, it currently is
+rather a deoptimization.
+
+So make it optional by introducing a symbol that can be selected by
+drivers wanting to make use of it.
+
+Saves e.g. ~46 kB on MIPS (size of LZO support + regcache LZO code).

+I tried using google to find any users (even out-of-tree ones), but at
+best I found a single driver submission that was switched to RBTREE in
+subsequent resubmissions (MFD_SMSC).
+
+One could maybe also just drop the code because of no users for 5 years,
+but that would be up to the maintainer(s) to decide.
