It should use capital S, according to the official website

You can't do this. The strict terms of the GPL require us to preserve
intact all notices referring to copyright and licences. If hisilicon
truly did make a mistake when they added their original copyright
notices, *they* may submit a patch to correct it, but you can't correct
it for them without their permission just because you think they got it
wrong.


John, can you help to review this patch and add an Acked-by? Or you can resubmit it.

Thanks.

Hao
