I would propose to keep Magnetometer as it is now and add separate interface for UncalibratedMagnetometer. Later, we can add CompassSensor that would provide heading.
[Windows](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.devices.sensors.magnetometer)
[Android](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Sensor.html#TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD)
[Linux](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/iio/magnetometer)
Also, if we rename UncalibratedMagnetometer to Magnetometer, it will break naming consistency between Accelerometer, Magnetometer and Gyro.
Calibrated sensor interface name | Uncalibrated sensor interface name
------------ | -------------
GeomagneticSensor(xyz) | Magnetometer(x,y,z, bias_x, bias_y, bias_z)
CalibratedGyroscope(xyz) :grinning: | Gyroscope(x, y, z, drift_x, drift_y, drift_z)
:scream: | Accelerometer(x,y,z)
