Thank you for the explicit diagnostics observed. Something fishy is
going on though, https://godbolt.org/z/Gbxbxa is how I expect MSVC to
handle include/linux/compiler_attributes.h.

The C preprocessor should make it such that MSVC never sees
`__attribute__` or `__fallthrough__`; that it does begs the question.
That would seem to imply that `#if __has_attribute(__fallthrough__)`
somehow evaluates to true on MSVC, but my godbolt link shows it does
not.

Could the upstream ACPICA project be #define'ing something that could
be altering this? (Or not #define'ing something?)

Worst case, we could do as Joe Perches suggested and disable
-Wfallthrough for drivers/acpi/acpica/.
