I think so, but that's another personal choise and no urgent
as well (It is just a cleanup to some extent).

I am very happy that you send a patch about this, but we have
to take care of handling "fall through" properly at least,
and I don't want to introduce some extra compile warnings
instead at this time.

EROFS is sensitive for now and I have no idea what the "real"
point is.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
