This patch enabled that we can compress any firmware files on disk. This will save some space since /lib/firmware is becoming larger with every release. From formerly 828MiB, this is now using ~349MiB which is a saving of about 480MiB on disk. This is helping us a lot fighting to contain the distribution to 2GB on /. Some other firmware that is installed in other packages is not compressed with this patch which is a bit sad, but potentially not worth the effort. In order to ship this change with a Core Update, it might be intuitive to remove /lib/firmware first and then extract the new update with all new files. However, I do not know if this all will compress as well as before since now the files are already individually compressed. It might be a challenge to ship this.
