Drop 'bindings' from above?

Please remove this last line. It is a Linuxism that doesn't belong in DT
bindings. And then make it one paragraph and drop the | because
formatting doesn't need to be maintained.

I see that on sc7180 aoss-qmp is overlapping with this region.


	aoss_qmp: qmp@...0000 {
		compatible = "qcom,sc7180-aoss-qmp";
		reg = <0 0x0c300000 0 0x100000>;

So is this register region really something more like a TCM or RAM area
where rpmh combines multiple software concepts into one hardware memory
region? The aoss-qmp driver talks about message RAM, so I think this
sleep stats stuff is a carveout of the RPMh message RAM. It seems OK if
we want to split that message RAM up into multiple DT nodes, but then
we'll need to reduce the reg size for the aoss-qmp node.

Finally, the node name 'soc-sleep-stats' is generic, but I wonder why we
couldn't name the node 'tcm' or 'memory' or 'msgram'. Similarly for the
qmp node it fits better DT style to have the node be something generic.
