What is the utility of exporting memcpy_count, and bytes_transferred

Well....it's true they're useful for debugging but I would put them in
the category of system statistics that shouldn't go in debugfs. I
think they are like /proc/interrupts' interrupt counts or the TX/RX
stats reported by ifconfig.

Fair, but wouldn't it be better to have the association per client.

Maybe leave the one as a summary and have a dir per client with similar stats that are for each client and add a per channel summary at the top level as well.
