The device tree describes hardware, not any particular driver.

That said, there is a bit of an on-going debate on whether mandatory
supplies (from a hardware perspective) should always be represented in
device tree or not.

What's wrong with particulate matter sensor ("pms")?

Seems like a better fix than any particular model name to me at least.
