This functionally reverts commit bfd77145 ("Makefile: Convert -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 to just -Wimplicit-fallthrough for clang"). clang enabled support for -Wimplicit-fallthrough in C in r369414 [1], which causes a lot of warnings when building the kernel for two reasons: 1. Clang does not support the /* fall through */ comments. There seems to be a general consensus in the LLVM community that this is not something they want to support. Joe Perches wrote a script to convert all of the comments to a "fallthrough" keyword that will be added to compiler_attributes.h [2] [3], which catches the vast majority of the comments. There doesn't appear to be any consensus in the kernel community when to do this conversion. 2. Clang and GCC disagree about falling through to final case statements with no content or cases that simply break: https://godbolt.org/z/c8csDu This difference contributes at least 50 warnings in an allyesconfig build for x86, not considering other architectures. This difference will need to be discussed to see which compiler is right [4] [5].

Add a comment to explain what is going on as well. This commit should be reverted once these two issues are fully flushed out and resolved.
