[PATCH v4 4/5] checkpatch: allow Closes tags with links

From: Matthieu Baerts
Date: Mon Apr 03 2023 - 12:24:27 EST


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

v4:
- remove the "Fixes" tags. (Joe Perches)
- "Reported-by:" should be followed by a "Closes:" tag. (Thorsten
Leemhuis)

v3:
- split into 2 patches: the previous one adds a list with all the
"link" tags. This one only allows the "Closes" tag. (Joe Perches)
- "Closes" is no longer printed between parenthesis. (Thorsten
Leemhuis)
