After fixing the regression in kselftest, I could verify and confirm
that no regression was introduced by my patchset.

Also, below is the patch to add tests for the compressed firmware
load. I'll add to the series at the next respin, if needed.

Subject: [PATCH] selftests: firmware: Add compressed firmware tests

This patch adds the test cases for checking compressed firmware load.
Two more cases are added to fw_filesystem.sh:
- Both a plain file and an xz file are present, and load the former
- Only an xz file is present, and load without '.xz' suffix

The tests are enabled only when CONFIG_FW_LOADER_COMPRESS is enabled
and xz program is installed.
