Simply no.

I'd like to say, this is not my mistake (even not an issue).
If you notice the latest LZ4 upstream
https://github.com/lz4/lz4/blob/dev/lib/lz4.c#L1865

Or some related change, the lz4 author Cyan did it on purpose.
https://github.com/lz4/lz4/commit/1a191b3f8d26b50a7c1d41590b529ec308d768cd

I think we could follow the latest LZ4 upstream in order to
avoid further maintainence overhead. That's my own thought
anyway.

Thanks,
