Thanks for your patch!

This depends on the firmware/boot loader stack.  If it configures a
Lossy Decompression region, it should make sure to pass this
info through the various boot loader components to Linux,
just like is already done with the memory regions, RPC-IF state,
and OpTee configuration.
