The typo here is that the first "is" should have been an "it", rather
than being a duplicate.

I hope you are really looking at the sentence, understanding the
sentence, and then modifying the sentence based on your understanding,
not just removing the duplicate to make checkpatch happy.

You really do need to engage brain.

You also should consider that this checkpatch warning has been around
a while. Many of the real problems have already been fixed, so there
is probably a high false positive rate for this check. So you need to
be extra careful, or you are going to make things worse, not better.

"The the in this sentence is the subject."

If you looked back in the archives maybe a month, there was somebody
who get flamed for getting this sort of checkpatch fixup badly wrong.
