Kernel doesn't have this issue, because they did a wholesale sync
with upstream zstd a while back. We should be doing that for barebox
as well and extend zstd support to PBL and kernel images (currently
only available for ubifs and squashfs).

I attempted this last year:

  https://lore.barebox.org/barebox/20220713100922.1880282-1-a.fatoum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

But it had to be reverted because it caused regressions. Might be worth
giving it another shot and fix the issues with v1.

I don't know when I will get around to it, but if you are really
determined to fix the warning, this would be one way forward :-)

Thanks,
Ahmad
