Thinking about it, having a sysfs group attached to a policy kobject
looks ok if replication of the same chip information across multiple
policies is not objectionable.

Regarding the table-format, it breaks the sysfs's one-value-per-file
rule. So I would still prefer each throttle reason being a separate
file which gives the number of times the chip frequency was throttled
due to that reason. We can live without the per-frequency
throttle stats listed in the throttle_status.

So, would the following be sysfs group structure be acceptable?

$ls -1 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/throttle_stats/
unthrottle
powercap
overtemp
supply_fault
overcurrent
occ_reset
turbo_stat
sub_turbo_stat
