Commit6654111c89("MIPS: vmlinux.lds.S: align raw appended dtb to 8 bytes") changed the alignment from STRUCT_ALIGNMENT bytes to 8 bytes. The commit's message makes it sound like it was actually done on purpose, but this is not the case. The commit was written when raw appended dtb were not aligned at all. The STRUCT_ALIGN() was added a few days before, in commit7a05293af3("MIPS: boot/compressed: Copy DTB to aligned address"). The true purpose of the commit was not to align specifically to 8 bytes, but to make sure that the generated vmlinux' size was properly padded to the alignment required for DTBs. While the switch to 8-byte alignment worked for vmlinux-appended dtb blobs, it broke vmlinuz-appended dtb blobs, as the decompress routine moves the blob to a STRUCT_ALIGNMENT aligned address. Fix this by changing the raw appended dtb blob alignment from 8 bytes back to STRUCT_ALIGNMENT bytes in vmlinux.lds.S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
