Pointless cast.

This is the sort of change that clearly isn't acceptable, as I don't
think you have ways to check _all_ existing frontends for their
compatibility with this. A connected -> connected transition
might be acceptable (that was done in the block frontend too, for
implementing dynamic resize), but will likely need to be
accompanied by a frontend side patch to handle that (which so
far should be a no-op).

Pointless default case.

I don't think you really need the label (and the goto above) - just
put a return there.

Pointless parentheses.
