There's no guarantee the bug will get closed even if the problem is
fixed, unless someone else has the same hardware as you and is testing.
A fix may come down from upstream without being recognized specifically
as a fix for this particular Fedora bug report - a lot of stuff comes
down from upstream, and there's no guarantee the kernel team will match
up every upstream change to Fedora bug reports without assistance from
testers.
