Would the information not fit in one file per type with multiple rows? 
Can you show example outputs?

For example if I'm reading right the Qset only has 5 attributes:

"qset id: %u\n"		qset_id
"QS map pri id: %u\n"		map->priority
"QS map link_vld: %u\n"	map->link_vld);
"QS schedule mode: %s\n"	(qs_sch_mode->sch_mode & HCLGE_TM_TX_SCHD_DWRR_MSK) ?
				 "dwrr" : "sp");
"QS dwrr: %u\n"		qs_weight->dwrr
