Having 4 almost identical properties makes it seem like this should have
some channel nodes, each containing an rsense-micro-ohms type property.

I don't understand what this property is used for. The description here,
and below for "ena", read like they are the descriptions in the
datasheet for the pin, rather than how to use the property.

The drivers don't appear to contain users either - what is the point of
these properties?

As pointed out by the bot, this is not correct. You need to use a
-supply affix, not a supply-prefix.

Thanks,
