This is a "false positive" based on the compiler option definition:

-Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 case sensitively matches a wide range of
regular expressions, listed in the GCC manual. E.g., all of these are
accepted:
/* Falls through. */
/* fall-thru */
/* Else falls through. */
/* FALLTHRU */
/* â falls through â */
etc.

You should be looking to fix the problem with the compiler option,
which is reporting "acceptable" code comments.
