while this obviously works, I still have a comment below:

Wouldn't it be more natural to make uncompress_sparse use the same
prototype as the other uncompress functions and then just have:

#ifdef CONFIG_IMAGE_SPARSE
	case filetype_android_sparse:
		compfn = decompress_sparse;
		break;
#endif

Without the need to adapt the compfn call?

Best regards
Uwe
