It's not quite the same; module-instance is the same from macOS' perspective, but we don't use Apple's device tree directly but rather roll our own DT which uses a different property name in this case. antenna-sku-info uses an ACPI method on x86, so that one is completely different. So in the end nothing is actually shared.
