It doesn't matter.  The point is that you deleted an entry from the
table which the ldmia/ldmia+ldr loads from and didn't adjust the
resulting code properly.

- ARM(          ldmia   r0, {r1, r2, r3, r5, r6, r11, ip, sp})
+ ARM(          ldmia   r0, {r1, r2, r3, r5, r6, r11, ip})
  THUMB(                ldmia   r0, {r1, r2, r3, r5, r6, r11, ip}       )
- THUMB(                ldr     sp, [r0, #32]                           )
+               ldr     sp, [r0, #28]

In case you're wondering, it's this part, found in the "Instruction
details" section of "A8.6.53 LDM / LDMIA / LDMFD":

"The SP can be in the list in ARM code, but not in Thumb code. However,
ARM instructions that include the SP in the list are deprecated."
