Subject: [PATCH 0/3] treewide: Convert unscriptable /* fallthrough */ comments to fallthrough;

Several files in the kernel can not be perfectly scripted to convert
/* fallthrough */ style comments to fallthrough; because the direct
scripted conversion causes gcc to emit warnings because the fallthrough;
marking is outside of an #ifdef/#endif block.

e.g.:
	switch (foo) {
	#ifdef CONFIG_BAR
	case BAR:
	     ...
	#endif
	/* fallthrough */
	case BAZ:
	     ...
	}

is converted via script to

	switch (foo) {
	#ifdef CONFIG_BAR
	case BAR:
	     ...
	#endif
	fallthrough;
	case BAZ:
	     ...
	}

gcc emits a warning for the bare fallthrough; before case BAZ: when
CONFIG_BAR is not enabled.

So moving the fallthrough; conversions inside the #ifdef/#endif block
avoids this warning.

These are the only warnings emitted on a treewide scripted conversion as
found by the kernel-robot so applying these patches allows a treewide
conversion, either as multiple discrete patches or a single large patch
to eventually be done.
