In preparation to enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough, mark switch cases where we are expecting to fall through. Notice that, in this particular case, the /* fall through */ comment is placed at the bottom of the case statement, which is what GCC is expecting to find. Warning level 3 was used: -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 This patch is part of the ongoing efforts to enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
