When fall-through warnings was enabled by default, d93512ef0f0e ("Makefile: Globally enable fall-through warning"), we could see the following warnings was starting to show up. However, this was originally introduced in commit 6ee33c2712fc ("ARM: hw_breakpoint: correct and simplify alignment fixup code"). Commit d968d2b801d8 ("ARM: 7497/1: hw_breakpoint: allow single-byte watchpoints on all addresses") was written with the intent to allow single-byte watchpoints on all addresses but forgot to move 'case 1:' down below 'case 2:'. ../arch/arm/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c: In function ‘hw_breakpoint_arch_parse’: ../arch/arm/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:609:7: warning: this statement may fall through [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=] if (hw->ctrl.len == ARM_BREAKPOINT_LEN_2) ^ ../arch/arm/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:611:3: note: here case 3: ^~~~ ../arch/arm/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:613:7: warning: this statement may fall through [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=] if (hw->ctrl.len == ARM_BREAKPOINT_LEN_1) ^ ../arch/arm/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:615:3: note: here default: ^~~~~~~ Rework so 'case 1:' are next to 'case 3:' and also add '/* Fall through */' so that the compiler doesn't warn about fall-through.
