Description:
mkinitcpio is ignoring the -c <file> parameter

Additional info:
* package version: 34-2

Steps to reproduce:

==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux-lts.preset: 'default'
-> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux-lts -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux-lts.img
==> Starting build: 5.15.84-1-lts

-> Running build hook: [autodetect]

-> Running build hook: [block]
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: xhci_pci

The second call should generate an uncompressed image!

It appears the function arrayize_config() doesn't handle the "COMPRESSION=..." option.

Edit. Scratch that. Will leave it to the experts :)
