If you/Gustavo would prefer, I can upgrade that check to

ifneq ($(call cc-option, -Wunreachable-code-fallthrough),)

I was just trying to save a call to the compiler, as that is more expensive
than a shell test call.

I prefer the option test -- this means no changes are needed on the
kernel build side if it ever finds itself backported to earlier versions
(and it handles the current case of "14" not meaning "absolute latest").

More specifically, I think you want this (untested):

That should work but since -Wunreachable-code-fallthrough is off by default, I did not really see a reason to include it in KBUILD_CFLAGS. I do not have a strong opinion though, your version is smaller than mine is so we can just go with that. I'll defer to Gustavo on it since he has put in all of the work cleaning up the warnings.

Cheers,
Nathan
