Hi pstore maintainers, this is a small series with some improvements overall. Most of them are minors, but the implicit conversion thing is a bit more "relevant" in a sense it's more invasive and would fit more as a "fix". The code is based on v6.0, and it was tested with multiple compression algorithms (zstd, deflate, lz4, lzo, 842) and two backends (ramoops and efi_pstore) - I've used a QEMU UEFI guest and Steam Deck for this goal. My plan is to also work some ramoops improvements (for example, related to [0]); they're more complex so it's deferred for a second series, specific for that. Reviews and comments are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Guilherme [0] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/a21201cf-1e5f-fed1-356d-42c83a66fa57@xxxxxxxxxx/ Guilherme G.
