The compressed payload is not necesarily 4-byte aligned, at least when compiling with Clang. In that case, the 4-byte value appended to the compressed payload that corresponds to the uncompressed kernel image size must be read using get_unaligned_le().
This fixes Clang-built kernels not booting on MIPS (tested on a Ingenic JZ4770 board).

gives me following error
arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.c:120:16: error: implicit declaration of function ‘get_unaligned_le32’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] image_size = get_unaligned_le32((void *)&__image_end - 4);
I've added
#include <asm/unaligned.h>
which fixes the compile error, but I'm wondering why the patch compiled for you ?
