Many years have passed (more than 9 actually) since the introduction of
the Nexus 5 dts to Linux and it's high time to update the model property
to be a proper model name and thereby bringing it to the standards of
the 2020s.

The phone was manufactured by LG and sold by Google. Some sources call
it LG Nexus 5, some Google Nexus 5. I think it was mostly marketed as
just Nexus 5, but consensus in upstream dts seems to be to use the
manufacturer, see Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus 4.

Arguments could also easily be made to change the compatible to
"lg,hammerhead" and rename the dts, since lge (LG Electronics) is not
even documented in vendor-prefixes and doesn't really appear anywhere
else in the kernel and lg, (for LG Corporation, the parent of LG
Electronics from what I can tell) is used. But that's more invasive so
I'm leaving this out in favor of this simple patch.

Hehe, definitely an improvement.
