Title
ARM: dts: exynos: Use Exynos5420 compatible for the MIPI video phy
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ARM: dts: exynos: Use Exynos5420 compatible for the MIPI video phy For some reason, the driver adding support for Exynos5420 MIPI phy back in 2016 wasn't used on Exynos5420, which caused a kernel panic. Add the proper compatible for it.
