Well, if you insist, I'd prefer the following patch.

From: Wolfram Sang <wsa@the-dreams.de>
Subject: [PATCH] ppc: mpc52xx: silence false positive from old GCC

So people can compile with -Werror (RT patchset).

People not realizing 'default' is a no-op might wonder why unknown
levels are mapped to critical.

We know which level it was, since the printout is only for that level.
We probably want to know which requested IRQ was causing this, so we can
fix the assorted driver. Otherwise we only know that some critical IRQ
was requested somewhere.

Ah, I see, pity.

Thanks,

Why do you mention the RT patch set here? Doesn't the vanila tree gets
compiled with -Werror as well?

That would probably work, too. I would drop that comment but then
someone might clean that up :P

I see. And what would you suggest as default in case we would have an
additional bit?

Hmmm. I assumed that critical / SDMA / … are interrupt numbers but they
are seem not be. In that case I guess l2 is more important. l1 kinda
looks important since it is the value in the switch case which failed
but since it can only hold one possible value, I guess your info is
better :)
