From dc58bc553e7a8e1d6eeaffd92cb8b346e0d62f70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2020 20:44:33 -0800 Subject: checkpatch: allow --fix removal of unnecessary break statements switch/case use of break after a return, goto or break is unnecessary. There is an existing warning for the return and goto uses, so add break and a --fix option too.
