Thanks for checking this on MSM8996. Probably it doesnot have SMEM items 
allocated so causes WARNINGs.

Keeping subsystem stats info in SMEM is not limited to only RPMH 
targets. Downstream has some RPM targets which also uses SMEM to store
subsystem stats so the driver is kept generic.

Right. on existing upstream RPM targets i can skip to create/get SMEM 
items since
they are not guranteed to be present and one should continue to use 
rpm_master_stats.c to get subsystem stats. (this uses entirely different 
data structure for sleep stats and are not part of RPM data ram/SMEM and 
are deprecated in downstream).

I think module loading internally takes care of this.
we're making a direct function call into the qcom_smem driver, so we
already have a hard dependency on qcom_smem.ko being loaded.

Good catch. if the subsystem starts after this driver is loaded, the 
look up fails during probe and we don't create debugfs file for the 
subsystem.

one need to unload/load the driver again after sometime in bootup so by 
that time all the subsytems (modem, adsp, cdsp, etc) are up and we 
create debugfs file for them.

we have downstream fix for this to create the debugfs files irrespective 
of look up fails or not. i have plan to add it once the base driver gets 
merged.

Maulik
