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.
