syzbot stack traces often come with the following line:
Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine...
This generates the repeated word warning from checkpatch. It hit 49 times in the last 6 months in networking (false-positive rate of 0.34%). Mute the warning for "Google", there's no other word which comes close to being this clear cut false-positive in our traffic.
