Subject: Reported-by checkpatch warning from v6.4-rc1

Hello,
starting from commit d6ccdd678e45 ("checkpatch: check for misuse of the link tags")
any Reported-by: tag not followed by a Closes trigger a warning, even if
we have a Link: tag afterward.

Example:

WARNING: Reported-by: should be immediately followed by Closes: with a URL to the report
#8:
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@...el.com>
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202305152341.oiSjRpv6-lkp@intel.com/
total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 8 lines checked

>From what I can understand it was not in the intention of that patch,
and Link: is still fine to be used.

Comments?

Francesco
