Description: With the move to the NXP L5.4.24-2.1.0 BSP we will have all our downstream and mainline/upstream Linux kernels based on 5.4. Using 5.4 based backports with this does not make any sense so drop it. |

The Toradex Easy Installer now provides a gzip compressed kernel as part of its fit image. U-Boot uncompresses the kernel when loading the fit image
Use also a compressed kernel in the BSP and evaluate what options we have to decompress in U-Boot. |
