This might be a reasonable thing to add to checkpatch.
And here's another possible similar perl word deduplicator attached:
Assuming you have git, this could be used like:
$ git ls-files -- <dir> | xargs perl deduplicate_words.pl
And it would overwrite all files with duplicated words.
No guarantees any changes it makes are right of course.
It still needs a human to verify any change.
For instance:
$ git ls-files kernel/trace/*.[ch] | xargs perl deduplicate_words.pl
$ git diff kernel/trace
