Does this region really only contain "rpm-*sleep*-stats"? AFAICT this is
really a more generic memory region where various offsets are read from.

These are all the offsets in msm8998-pm.dtsi downstream [1]:
  ...9000c: rpm-rail-stats offset
  ...90014: rpm-sleep-stats offset (RPM_DYNAMIC_ADDR in your driver)
  ...90018: rpm-log offset
  ...9001c: "RPM FREE HEAP SPACE"

How would you set up any of the other drivers if the entire region
is declared as "rpm-sleep-stats"?

Perhaps this region should have a more generic name that represents what
it actually is and not only one of the information it contains, similar
to "qcom,rpm-msg-ram"?

Thanks,
Stephan
