It's not your fault, but this policy REALLY makes review painful and is
EXTREMELY annoying.

Good idea.

Not leave the fall-through comment, and thus remove it ? :-) I really
think it's not needed (otherwise imagine how the big switch-case in
v4l2-ctrls.c would look like for instance).

But the HDMI-specific part won't work, so the code will likely not
operate correctly. I'd rather make it an error to for developers using
HDMI connectors to fix it.

I know, it's not your fault, I was complaining about the state of the
universe in general :-)
