Pstore supports compression using a variety of algorithms exposed by the crypto API. This uses the deprecated comp (as opposed to scomp/acomp) API, and so we should stop using that, and either move to the new API, or switch to a different approach entirely. Given that we only compress ASCII text in pstore, and considering that this happens when the system is likely to be in a highly fragile state, the flexibility that the complex crypto API provides does not outweigh its impact on the risk that we might encounter additional problems when trying to commit the kernel log contents to the pstore backend. So let's switch [back] to the zlib deflate library API, and remove all the complexity that really has no place in a low-level diagnostic facility. Note that, while more modern compression algorithms have been added to the kernel in recent years, the code size of zlib deflate is substantially smaller, while its performance in terms of compression ratio is perfectly acceptable, and speed is irrelevant in this context (unless panic() is a performance bottleneck in your workload).
