[JAMMY][SRU][PATCH 1/4] firmware_loader: EXTRA_FIRMWARE does not support compressed files

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap at infradead.org>

Document in the firmware loader Kconfig help text that firmware image
file compression is not supported for builtin EXTRA_FIRMWARE files so
that someone does not waste time trying that.
