Only the copyright holders or agents acting on their behalf have the
legal power to do that.
Also, it's not in ARMs interest to become a GPL enforcement agency for
Linux kernel - their motivation here is to sell more ARM CPUs to that
their revenue from their licenses continues to increase, and going after
people like this would be counter-productive to that goal.
However, there are organisations setup specifically to deal directly
with infringements of open source software licenses on behalf of their
copyright holders, and a number of Linux kernel copyright holders have
"signed up" with them.
