There is a problem in this commit, which is fixed in the following commit:
    9dc20113988b9a75ea6b3abd68dc45e2d73ccdab

    fbdev: sm712fb: fix memory frequency by avoiding a switch/case fallthrough

    A fallthrough in switch/case was introduced in f627caf55b8e ("fbdev:
    sm712fb: fix crashes and garbled display during DPMS modesetting"),
    due to my copy-paste error, which would cause the memory clock frequency
    for SM720 to be programmed to SM712.

    Since it only reprograms the clock to a different frequency, it's only
    a benign issue without visible side-effect, so it also evaded Sudip
    Mukherjee's code review and regression tests. scripts/checkpatch.pl
    also failed to discover the issue, possibly due to nested switch
    statements.

    This issue was found by Stephen Rothwell by building linux-next with
    -Wimplicit-fallthrough.
