Now that I gave this a look for the GCC side, I think it is wrong.

-Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 was under cc-option because it was only
available in GCC 7.x and newer so the build is now broken for GCC 5.x
and 6.x:

gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-Wimplicit-fallthrough=5';
did you mean '-Wno-fallthrough'?

I think this needs to be added (I can send a formal patch tomorrow
unless someone wants to beat me to it):

diff --git a/init/Kconfig b/init/Kconfig
index 036b750e8d8a..85882c317235 100644
