The patch itself looks fine, but I don't think this needs a CC to
stable, nor does it require that fixes tag, as there's no functional
problem.

If anything, it fixes:

  d93512ef0f0e (" Makefile: Globally enable fall-through warning")

... given the commit message for that patch states:

  Now that all the fall-through warnings have been addressed in the
  kernel, enable the fall-through warning globally.

... and the existence of this patch implies otherwise.

IIUC that patch isn't even in mainline yet, but given this is simple I
imagine that Will and Catalin might be happy to pick this up for the
next rc.

Thanks,
Mark.
