If we call it DeviceOrientationSensor then it should be a fusion of
accel and gyro, which most sensor hubs now can do in hardware and
usually accomplish using a complimentary filter, as it creates
satisfactory results for common use-cases without must computation.
A fusion of magnetomer and gravity (gravity isolated from
accelerometer - also sometimes done in the sensor hub using a low pass
filter - Android exposes a specific Gravity sensor for that) should
be called CompassSensor or similar.
We could also make it an argument to a generic orientation sensor,
like say { type: "compass" | "device" | "gamepad" | "vr-headset" ... }
