We support "no compression" node already. You may do one of the following:

1. Disable compression support in configuration menu, in which case
"no compression" will be the only option.
2. When you create your file-system with mkfs.ubifs, use "--compr none",
in which case the default compression mode will be "none". But it does
not mean you will not be able to enable compression for certain files.
3. Use "chattr -c <file name>" (or IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl) to disable
compression for a specific file.

DEFAULT_COMPRESSOR is just default compressor which is used
when UBIFS mounts an empty volume and formats it automatically.
You may use mkfs.ubifs instead and pre-format the volume, in which
case you may specify "none" compression method.
