fffb21818a UPSTREAM: compiler_attributes.h: Add 'fallthrough' pseudo keyword for switch/case use
Reserve the pseudo keyword 'fallthrough' for the ability to convert the
various case block /* fallthrough */ style comments to appear to be an
actual reserved word with the same gcc case block missing fallthrough
warning capability.

All switch/case blocks now should end in one of:

	break;
	fallthrough;
	goto <label>;
	return [expression];
	continue;

In C mode, GCC supports the __fallthrough__ attribute since 7.1,
the same time the warning and the comment parsing were introduced.

fallthrough devolves to an empty "do {} while (0)" if the compiler
version (any version less than gcc 7) does not support the attribute.

Also add support for devices which use bifrost drivers.

3dc16d6046 BACKPORT: Compiler Attributes: use feature checks instead of version checks
Instead of using version checks per-compiler to define (or not)
each attribute, use __has_attribute to test for them, following
the cleanup started with commit 815f0ddb34
("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h mutually exclusive"),
which is supported on gcc >= 5, clang >= 2.9 and icc >= 17.
In the meantime, to support 4.6 <= gcc < 5, we implement
__has_attribute by hand.

All the attributes that can be unconditionally defined and directly
map to compiler attribute(s) (even if optional) have been moved
to a new file include/linux/compiler_attributes.h

In an effort to make the file as regular as possible, comments
stating the purpose of attributes have been removed. Instead,
links to the compiler docs have been added (i.e. to gcc and,
if available, to clang as well). In addition, they have been sorted.

Finally, if an attribute is optional (i.e. if it is guarded
by __has_attribute), the reason has been stated for future reference.
