No idea - but it does compile fine without the include here. Probably a
defconfig difference.

# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZO is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZ4 is not set

this makes the difference. Both decompress.c files include asm/unaligned.h.

I've added the #include, fixed the get_unaligned_le32 in the description
and applied it to mips-fixes.

Alright, great! Thanks!

Cheers,
