Name of this current limiting device
I'm trying to modify a LED torch, and there is a DC-DC booster (1.5 V to 3.3 V) and after that some SOT-23 device which (I assume) keeps constant 90 mA current through LED. I know I could remove that device and replace it with a resistor, but that has disadvantage that current won't be as stable with temperature drift of LED.
So I would like to replace that current limiting device for another one.
I was looking for devices like "SOT-23 LED constant current driver", "SOT-23 constant current regulator", "SOT-23 constant current sink", etc. but with no luck finding similar device whatsoever. I couldn't find anything similar on Mouser or Digikey (I could be looking in wrong categories though)
My question is:
Is that common device and what is it's name?
This is the schematic:
UPDATE:
I do not think it is absolutely necessary, but I'm adding full schematic (reverse engineered):
This is photo of the board:
SMD codes are:
U1; DC-DC booster: LahFb (it seems to be YX2118, some chinesium)
U2; current regulator: IaiHb (or laiHb)

It is some manner of BJT or MOSFET LED driver similar to for example this: NCR402T (just a random example, this one was PNP).
They are literally called "SOT23 LED driver" (Mouser calls them "SOT23-3 LED Lighting driver"). Which exact part you have, I can't tell without marking. Plenty of manufacturers provide similar parts: Nxperia, ON, Diodes, TI, Infineon and so on.
