Can we lose the extra { } inside the switch here?

Those cases contain no declarations, so there's no need for a nested
block in either case.  This also solves the indentation problem.

Documentation/CodingStyle appears to prefer an unconditional break; to
be indented flush with the contents of the case block that it ends.
