I can't understand this. Please, could you explain this more ?
My patch just replaces put_unaligned with put_unaligned_le16. and this just write compression data
in little endian byte-order  regardless of machine byte-order, like ext file system. 
So, i guess there is no  problem what you pointed 

Thanks.
