The problem here is that checkpatch throws three warnings:

WARNING: Reported-by: should be immediately followed by Closes: with a URL to the report
#19:
Reported-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@xxxxxx>
Reported-by: Ronan Pigott <ronan@xxxxxx>

WARNING: Reported-by: should be immediately followed by Closes: with a URL to the report
#20:

WARNING: Reported-by: should be immediately followed by Closes: with a URL to the report
#21:

Since bugzilla is not part of the documented process afaik, I used this
field as the guideline:

Reported:	2023-08-17 20:59 UTC by Todd Brandt

How otherwise I should interpret kernel bugzilla?

In any case new version is still needed as the commit message must 
contain a mention of "Lenovo Legion Y540" as the stimulus for doing
this code change in the first place.

BR, Jarkko
