The conclusion of a recent discussion about the new warnings
reported by gcc 7 is that the new warnings reported when building
with W=1 should be suppressed. However, gcc 7 still warns about
fall-through in switch statements when building with W=1. Suppress
these warnings by annotating the SCSI core properly.
See also Linus Torvalds, Lots of new warnings with gcc-7.1.1, 11
July 2017 (https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg115428.html).
