May be narrowing to very specific area (emacs, gdb-mi, no-arm-specific) would help?

I'm afraid I have some bad news regarding the patches. As I was
looking for someone internally at Arm to sign the employer disclaimer
I was stopped by the legal department. Apparently Arm has taken the
stance that signing such a disclaimer could "open a legal door which
could expose intellectual property in the future". Thus, I'm afraid no
one at Arm will sign such a disclaimer at this time and consequently,
these patches cannot be used in Emacs.

I'm not exactly a lawyer, but I believe the patches can still be used
as a reference for implementing the feature, but as I mentioned I'm
afraid they cannot be used as-is.

Sorry about the trouble, I didn't really expect the company to stop
something like this.
