This causes WARNINGs on MSM8996 and MSM8916:

AFAICT from downstream the smem subsystem information is only read in
the rpmh_master_stat.c driver, should this be specific to RPMh?

There is a rpm_master_stat.c too but that looks quite different,
so I guess the approach is different with RPM?

Two more (unrelated) issues here:

  1. This will silently not register anything if SMEM probes after the
     qcom-sleep-stats driver (qcom_smem_get() will return -EPROBE_DEFER)
     and you will just skip registering the debugfs files.

  2. In qcom_subsystem_sleep_stats_show() you say
     /* Items are allocated lazily, so lookup pointer each time */

     But, if the lookup fails here you don't register the debugfs file
     at all. Does this work if the subsystem is started after this driver?

Thanks,
