There is no "language spec" the kernel adheres to. Even if it did,
kernel code is not frozen. If an improvement is found, it should be
applied.

The C standard has nothing to do with this. We use compiler extensions
of several kinds, for many years. Even discounting those extensions,
the kernel is not even conforming to C due to e.g. strict aliasing. I
am not sure what you are trying to argue here.
But, since you insist: yes, the `fallthrough` attribute is in the
current C2x draft.
Cheers,
Miguel
