Rework so that the compiler doesn't warn about fall-through. Rework so
the code looks like the arm code. Since the comment in the function
indicates taht this is supposed to behave the same way as arm32 because

Typo: s/taht/that/

it handles 32-bit tasks also.

Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v3.16+
Fixes: 6ee33c2712fc ("ARM: hw_breakpoint: correct and simplify alignment fixup code")
Signed-off-by: Anders Roxell <anders.roxell@xxxxxxxxxx>

The patch itself looks fine, but I don't think this needs a CC to
stable, nor does it require that fixes tag, as there's no functional
problem.

Hmm... I now see I spoke too soon, and this is making the 1-byte
breakpoint work at a 3-byte offset.

I still don't think it's quite right though, since it forbids a 2-byte
watchpoint on a byte-aligned address.

Plus, AFAICS, a 1-byte watchpoint on a 2-byte-aligned address.

[and of course, what I missed was that that's the case the fallthrough serves... yuck indeed]

Not that I know anything about this code, but it does start to look like it
might want rewriting without the offending switch statement anyway. At a
glance, it looks like the intended semantic might boil down to:

	if (hw->ctrl.len > offset)
		return -EINVAL;

Given that it's compat code, I think it's worth staying as close to the
arch/arm/ implementation as we can.

Right, I also misread the accompanying arch/arm/ patch and got the impression that 32-bit also had a problem such that any fix would happen in parallel - on closer inspection the current arch/arm/ code does actually seem to make sense, even if it is horribly subtle.

Also, beware that the
ARM_BREAKPOINT_LEN_* definitions are masks because of the BAS fields in
the debug architecture.

Fun... Clearly it's a bit too Friday for me to be useful here, so apologies for the confusion :)

Robin.
