Out of interest, how are you submitting your patches?

If you're not already, you should be using:

This driver provides support for the Arctic Sand arc2c0608 chip, 
    and provides a framework to support future devices.

Biggest point however is that this patch is already in Mainline.

The only reason for this set of patches is based on the request from Rob Herring for vendor name change from 'arc' to 'arctic'. Not sure how to proceed, please advise.

You need to only re-send the patches which have not been accepted
already.  So fix the comments I gave you on the vendor name patch and
only re-send that one.
