Subject: [PATCH v2] devtools: ignore new warnings on reported-by tag
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 21:06:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251114200640.1639056-1-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 Link and Closes tag are not mandated in commit messages
where Reported-by tag is used, the warning about lack of Link/Closes
tags can be suppressed.
