Checkpatch query

[Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>]

Hi Andy, Joe,

When running checkpatch on drivers/mfd/tps80031.c I recieve the
following warning:

> WARNING: Possible switch case/default not preceeded by break or
>          fallthrough comment
> #337: FILE: drivers/mfd/tps80031.c:337:
> +       case TPS80031_BACKUP_REG:
> 
> total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 573 lines checked

... but we use switch statement fall through all the time when
identifying different types of registers used with Regmap.  Placing a
fall-through comment between them all sounds very messy to me.

Also, the warning only fires on 'case's which do not use '...'
notation, which seems a little odd.

Anyway, I'm not sure placing a 'fall through' comment makes the code
any cleaner or reduces possible failure rate in any way.  Is there any
chance that this check can be removed?
