Sinan Kaya de9bcf56eb kernel-uboot: allow compression option to be configurable
While some platforms might choose to compress the kernel by
default especially when boot medium is slow, others want
uncompressed kernel.

The choice of decompression speed vs. load speed is very
platform dependent.

Allow platform to choose the option here.
