I was mostly following qcom-msm8974-lge-nexus5-hammerhead as it's the other LG
device tree I am aware of so I've picked lge instead of lg. Also worth noting
that Google uses "LGE" in the Android device tree[1] or in the model name in
the LG G Watch R kernel sources ("LGE APQ 8026v2 LENOK rev-1.0").

I don't have a strong opinion either way so I'm fine with either.

If we decide to go with "lg" do we want to change the Nexus 5 devicetree
(hammerhead) also, that one has the lge name in at least compatible and
filename (I don't know how much of a breaking change that would be considered
as).
