[PATCH] kbuild: Require W=1 for -Wimplicit-fallthrough with clang

From: Nathan Huckleberry
Date: Thu Aug 15 2019 - 14:20:35 EST


Clang is updating to support -Wimplicit-fallthrough on C
https://reviews.llvm.org/D64838. Since clang does not
support the comment version of fallthrough annotations
this update causes an additional 50k warnings. Most
of these warnings (>49k) are duplicates from header files.

This patch is intended to be reverted after the warnings
have been cleaned up.
