The Program Header identifiers are internal to the linker scripts. In
preparation for moving the NOTES segment declaration into RO_DATA,
standardize the identifier for the PT_NOTE entry to "note" as used by
all other architectures that emit PT_NOTE.

All other archs are wrong, and "notes" is a much better name.  This
segment does not contain a single "note", but multiple "notes".

True, but the naming appears to be based off the Program Header name of
"PT_NOTE". Regardless, it is an entirely internal-to-the-linker-script
identifier, so I am just consolidating on a common name with the least
number of collateral changes.
