Please show an example illustrating why this property is needed. The
example below doesn't show any per sensor properties aside from the
sensor id. Other bindings with a similar sub-sensor hardware design like
tegra-soctherm and rockchip-thermal don't have a need for a vendor
specific property like this. Their drivers simply iterate over an id
index during thermal sensor registration.
