You're adding a debugfs interface here, not sysfs.

This isn't really a register dump, it's a decoded form of the register
contents. I think it'd be better to either provide a debugfs file with
the raw register contents, perhaps with register name and offset, or a
decoded version. Or both.

I don't think these separators are any good. debugfs files are
essentially for free, so if you have logical separation of the content,
as indicated by the separator here, a better option would be to make
these separate files.

Isn't this something that the thermal core support already exports via
some interface?

You should check for potential failure here, otherwise you might end up
in a situation where you create the soctherm files in the debugfs root,
which is almost certainly not what you want.

If you never check and don't care about the return value, I suggest
making the soctherm_debugfs_init() function return void. You should
still check for errors within the function to make sure you're not
doing anything you shouldn't, but you can silently ignore errors if
you don't care, or perhaps give an indication as to what failed with
a dev_warn() or similar.
