scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: fix flags for initramfs LZ4 compression
LZ4 as implemented in the kernel differs from the default method now used by the reference implementation of LZ4. Until the in-kernel method is updated to support the new default, passing the legacy flag (-l) to the compressor is necessary. Without this flag the kernel-generated, LZ4-compressed initramfs is junk. Kyungsik said: : It seems that lz4 supports legacy format with the same option as lz4c : does. Just looking at the first few bytes of lz4 compressed image, we can : see whether it is new format or not. : : It shows new format magic number without this patch. New format magic : number is 0x184d2204. : : $ hexdump -C ./initramfs_data.cpio.lz4 |more : 00000000 04 22 4d 18 64 70 b9 69 (Little Endian) : ... : : Currently kernel supports legacy format only.
