Hi David,

We (Marvell QED) already provide packed version of FW in linux-firmware:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/qed 

But thats a custom name, and zlib.

I'm just wondering if its a good solution to try transparently load .xz variant?
User may not expect that. M.b. through this api, give a driver an option to specify
archive format? Or even autodetect it from content?

Regards,
  Igor
