sysfs files must follow the design of "one file, one value" and it must
be well defined. "sleep information" does not have a defined structure.
And as Stephen has pointed out several times, /sys/power/subsystem_sleep
is hardly the right place for a Qualcomm-specific entry.

In the event that this is compiled as a kernel module, this driver won't
be automatically loaded - there's no references from other drivers nor
devicetree.
But equally big of an issue is that there's a single arm64 defconfig, so
this driver will be available on non-Qualcomm installations as well,
so you will be creating /sys/power/subsystem_sleep/stats regardless if
it ever will be possible to get any data out of this.
