So this cleanup and rename is fine, however the patch is hard to read
since various other changes are mixed in.
Can you try to isolate this more? If this patch would just rename the
labels, and wouldn't carry any functional change, it might be easier to
reason about. At least the SPSR value change should be separate.
Some more below:

I think this is indeed redundant, but can you either make this a
separate patch or at least mention it in the commit message?

This (and the other SPSR related changes below) should be in a separate
patch.

Why this isb here? I don't see that we would require this?

This is also a change which might be separate.
Cheers,
