[PATCH 0/4] treewide: Add 'fallthrough' pseudo-keyword

[Joe Perches]

Add 'fallthrough' pseudo-keyword to enable the removal of comments
like '/* fallthrough */'.

Add a script to convert the fallthrough comments.

The script can be run over any single file or treewide.

For instance, a treewide conversion can be done using:

$ git ls-files -- '*.[ch]' | \
  xargs scripts/cvt_style.pl -o --convert=fallthrough

This currently produces:

$ git diff --shortstat
 1839 files changed, 4377 insertions(+), 4698 deletions(-)

Example fallthrough conversion produced by the script:

$ scripts/cvt_style.pl -o --convert=fallthrough arch/arm/mm/alignment.c
