falltrhough seems like an OK thing to do even if fbdev is in pure
maintenance mode. Mostly so tools do not stumble upon this and
we continue to see patches.

But larger refactorings seems a little pointless.

If we do this change, should we then also start to accept indent fixes
for the other switch () cases in the fbdev drivers.

My initial reaction is therefore thanks, but no thanks.
