    Subject[PATCH 0/2] docs & checkpatch: allow Closes tags with links
    Date
    Since v6.3, checkpatch.pl now complains about the use of "Closes:" tags
    followed by a link [1]. It also complains if a "Reported-by:" tag is
    followed by a "Closes:" one [2].

    As detailed in the first patch, this "Closes:" tag is used for a bit of
    time, mainly by DRM and MPTCP subsystems. It is used by some bug
    trackers to automate the closure of issues when a patch is accepted.

    Because this tag is used for a bit of time by different subsystems and
    it looks like it makes sense and it is useful for them, I didn't bother
    Linus to get his permission to continue using it. If you think this is
    necessary to do that up front, please tell me and I will be happy to ask
    for his agreement.

    The first patch updates the documentation to explain what is this
    "Closes:" tag and how/when to use it. The second patch modifies
    checkpatch.pl to stop complaining about it.

    The DRM maintainers and their mailing list have been added in Cc as they
    are probably interested by these two patches as well.
