I was looking at usually suppressed gcc warnings, [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=] in this case: The code definitely looks like a break is missing here. However I am not able to test the NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT, nor do I actually know what might be :) So please use this patch with caution and only if you are able to do some testing.
