AFAICT, it was necessary to add per-SoC compatibles to all DSI hosts
to make documenting clocks possible (they differ per-platform).

The qcm2290 deprecation came from the oddity of the compatible name
(it did not match qcom,socname-hw), but he seems to have overlooked
that (at least before my recent patchset [1]), it was necessary as it
needed to circumvent part of the driver's logic. So it was first made
up-to-speed with the rest by adding the fallback common compatible and
then (wrongly) deprecated.


Then, SM6115 DSI DTS part was added parallel to that, so he did not
update it.

With [1] its deprecation is correct and this series tries to complete
it.
