I see that there are 2 dts(i) files which use the compatible
"melfas,mip4_ts", as discovered from a simple grep in arch/. They are:
- arm64/qcom/msm8916-lg-m216.dts
- arm64/mediatek/mt8173-elm-hana.dtsi

Is it possible to change all references of the compatible to something more
generic, such as "melfas,mip4"?
