The sum goes over all possible values of $k$ and spin which have the same energy $E$.

We now add together the contributions of the positive and the negative momenta as well both spin orientations, and arrive to the density of states
$$
g(E) = \frac{L}{2\pi}\frac{4}{a}\frac{1}{\sqrt{4t^2 - (E - E_0)^2}}.
g(E) = \frac{\hbar L}{2\pi}\frac{4}{a}\frac{1}{\sqrt{4t^2 - (E - E_0)^2}}.
$$
A quick check: when the energy is close to the bottom of the band, $E = E_0 - 2t + \delta E$, we get $g(E) \propto \delta E^{-1/2}$, as we expect in 1D.
