We have previously adopted the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough; So,
we want to avoid having more /* fallthrough */ comments being introduced.
This is also being enforced by commit

	73ffc61f4a8b ("Makefile: Enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang")

for both GCC and Clang.

So, the fix for this issue is merely to replace the /* fallthrough */ comment
with fallthrough;

Thanks
