Depends on how different they are. If it's just disallowing some
properties for one compatible, that's probably just an if/then schema.
And I said you *could* have different ones.

If 'reg' is used, then then it is a bus of some kind in the DT
definition of a bus. It's 'the way you address child devices' if you
want to not use 'bus'.

Obviously they are exposed in some way or we wouldn't be having this
conversation.

Also, on the supplies, once you list them out, couldn't they be
different per sensor model? How would you support that? That's going
to mean a schema per sensor model.
