NAK. This patch is not appropriate.

"ARM" refers to Arm Ltd (using their old capitalisation) _and_ it also
refers to the _A_rchitecture _R_eferene _M_anual. So, "ARM ARM" is never
a typo anywhere in the kernel.

The only possible fixup would be to convert the _first_ "ARM" to be
"Arm" to follow the company's marketing whims, but we don't generally
go around updating stuff like that in the kernel unless other changes
are being made in that area or there is a real pressing need.
