Gustavo, I enabled W=1 on my ath10k build checks and it took me a while
to figure out why GCC was warning about fall through annotations missing
even I knew you had fixed them. Finally I figured out that the reason
was ccache, which I need because I work with different branches and need
to recompile the kernel quite often.

If the plan is to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough by default in the kernel
IMHO this might become an issue, as otherwise people using ccache start
seeing lots of invalid warnings. Apparently CCACHE_COMMENTS=1 will fix
that but my version of ccache doesn't support it, and how would everyone
learn that trick anyway? Or maybe CCACHE_COMMENTS can enabled through
kernel Makefile?
