I wonder about the consistency of the patches. The one I just applied
for libata adds a break, this one annotates fallthrough. But the cases
are really 100% the same. Why aren't the changes consistent? Both are
obviously fine, but for identical cases it seems odd that they differ.

IMHO, adding a break makes more sense. Annotate the fallthrough if the
two cases share work that needs to be done, as then that solution makes
sense.
