A default case statement with a bare unreachable() was recently added to
fetch_item(), which by itself introduces undefined behavior. objtool
points this out with a few different warnings, depending on
configuration and compiler:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: fetch_item() falls through to next function ...
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: hid_open_report() falls through to next function hid_parser_main()
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: hid_scan_report() falls through to next function hid_allocate_device()
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: hid_open_report+0x21b: can't find jump dest instruction at .text.hid_open_report+0x40f
Replacing unreachable() with BUG() is a typical fix to eliminate the
undefined behavior and make the default case well defined. However, in
this case, all possible values are enumerated in the switch statement,
so the default case can never actually happen, as proven with the
comment next to the item->size assignment. Just remove the default case
altogether, as the return statement would still be valid if the switch
statement were ever to be skipped.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
