s/Hisilicon/HiSilicon/g.
It should use capital S, according to
https://www.hisilicon.com/en/terms-of-use.

This change looks really silly to me, but I am not a lawyer - so I
can't tell if this makes sense or not.

In any case, "Hisilicon" is being used all over the kernel - do you
intend to patch all places with similar changes like this one? Perhaps
just send a big tree-wide-patch instead and see what people think?

git grep Hisilicon | grep Copyright | nl
gives 159 cases.

Although if you make one patch per subsystem that should be a lot
less, which seems like a reasonable approach to me.

So, applied for next, thanks!
