Maybe some systems do that, but it is certainly not universal.
For example, in the BSD world, /sys is often a symlink to /usr/src/sys
which contains the kernel sources, and hence, /sys/dev contains
source code of device drivers, which is probably not what you are
talking about, for example:
$ ls -dF /sys/dev/a*
/sys/dev/acpi/ /sys/dev/atapiscsi/ /sys/dev/audio.c
/sys/dev/adb/ /sys/dev/auconv.c /sys/dev/audio_if.h
/sys/dev/ata/ /sys/dev/auconv.h /sys/dev/audiovar.h
