Hello Rui,

may we please ask you to test the patch first? quite possible there
is nothing to fix there; I've no access to mips h/w but the patch
seems correct to me.

LZ4_READ_LITTLEENDIAN_16 does get_unaligned_le16(), so
LZ4_WRITE_LITTLEENDIAN_16 must do put_unaligned_le16() /* not put_unaligned() */
