Since in our interpretation "return" is okay too, why is not sufficient to
simply ...

... insert just this one line here?

I guess the problem is with the description: It's un-annotated fall-through
in this case, not so much the lack of a break (or alike).

Do you prefer this?

case 1: case 2: case 4:
     if ( *s )
         fallthrough;
     break;
default:
     return -EINVAL;

Oh no, sorry,
this does not make sense.

First of all I'd prefer if we could leave such untouched. Moving to the
obvious replacement of what's there 

case 1: case 2: case 4:
     if ( *s )
     {
         fallthrough;
default:
         return -EINVAL;
     }
     break;

is arguably not necessarily better than what you were proposing. So I
guess the conclusion is that you're code change is okay(ish) (i.e. if
already we need to touch this), but the description wants changing to
make clear what the problem here is.
