I get it, net-next is fine. However, I noticed this series is still in
net-next/dev-queue.

There are only 6 of these fall-through warnings left in linux-next. Half
of them are fixed by this series. We want to add -Wimplicit-fallthrough
to the Makefile and start testing it in linux-next. And it'd be of great
help if you can move this series to your net-next/master, so it can be
merged into linux-next and be part of the test. :)

Thanks!
