the code today is:

{
	switch (prdcode) {
	case [...]
		return 1;
	default:
		if (prdcode < 0x1000) {
			printk(msg1);
			return 1;
		else
			printk(msg2);
			return 0;
	}
	return 0;	/* avoid compiler noise */
}

I think this code does not needs changing.
I think more modern compilers don't even warn
when the last return 0; isn't there.

If it were to be changed, I'd probably write it like:

{
	switch (prdcode) {
	case [...]
		return 1;
	default:
		if (prdcode < 0x1000) {
			printk(msg1);
			return 1;
		}
		break;
	}

	printk(msg2);
	return 0;
}

but I wouldn't bother.
