Description

Was going to comment on #3155 but, as this a documentation project, think the distinction warrants a seperate issue.

Vendors such as pimoroni and pihut are selling the DSI cables, and make it clear on their various product pages (inc CSI).

But idiots like me, who've a bunch of Pi-Zero camera MIPI cables, may waste time when migrating a setup from Pi 4 to 5; checking the product page and searching "DSI" in docs sidebar didn't yield anything obvious.

Please add a banner note to the TouchScreen docs page, something like "Note: for Raspberry Pi 5, the CSI and DSI cables are different, mini-CSI cables will work for cameras, but Pi5 to touchscreen requires a specific cable".

... and If I've bricked my touchscreen, please prioritise this issue!
