I didn't make it very clear, but my suggestion was really to remove
the annotation completely; see below.

IMO this use of "fall through" is superfluous and unusual in the Linux
source.

A "fall through" comment would be useful if the IMX7D case had
executable code but no "break".  Then the comment shows that the
intent was to execute *both* the IMX7D code and the IMX8MQ code and
the lack of a "break" was intentional.

In this case, the intent is to treat IMX7D and IMX8MQ the same, and
there's no executable code specifically for the IMX7D.  I think it's
easiest to read that when the list of identical cases is all together
without the comment in the middle, i.e., as

>  		reset_control_assert(imx6_pcie->pciephy_reset);

rather than this:
