Checkpatch is just a tool and it's output should not be treated as
something that you must follow.

Linus reluctantly allowed Closes: to be used as an *alternative* to
Link: [1], but then there was mission creep and now checkpatch has
started warning about a perfectly valid Link: tag after Reported-by:
without that even being made clear in the commit message [2].

I'll stick with Link: (like Linus still do most of the time), but I
don't mind if you want to change this to Closes: for ath11k.

Looks good, thanks.
