Subject: checkpatch: allow Closes tags with links
Date: Mon, 03 Apr 2023 18:23:49 +0200
As a follow-up of a previous patch modifying the documentation to allow
using the "Closes:" tag, checkpatch.pl is updated accordingly.
checkpatch.pl now no longer complain when the "Closes:" tag is used by
itself:
commit 76f381bb77a0 ("checkpatch: warn when unknown tags are used for links")
... or after the "Reported-by:" tag:
commit d7f1d71e5ef6 ("checkpatch: warn when Reported-by: is not followed by Link:")
Closes: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/373
Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230314-doc-checkpatch-closes-tag-v4-4-d26d1fa66f9f@xxxxxxxxxxxx
