Subject: [PATCH] devtools: ignore new warnings on reported-by tag
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2025 11:50:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250820095050.1090859-1-dsosnowski@nvidia.com> (raw)

There were 2 changes introduced in checkpatch.pl script [1][2]
which verify if Reported-by tag is followed by Link or Closes tag.
Example of the warning output:

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

Original purpose is to link the patch to the mailing list discussion
and/or a bug report.

Since in DPDK these tags are not used, these warnings are false
positives and can be ignored in devtools/checkpatches.sh.
