Does this patch originally authored by Thu? If so, add From: line before
the patch description.

The documentation above can be improved (both grammatical and
formatting):

+The smpro-misc driver supports monitoring and configuration of various

 Sysfs entries
 -------------
 
 1) Boot progress
 
-SMpro misc driver creates the sysfs files ``boot_progress``.
-The format of ``boot_progress`` file is as below::
+   The driver creates ``boot_progress`` sysfs file. Its format is described
+   as::
 
-<boot stage><boot status><boot progress>
+     <boot stage><boot status><boot progress>
 
-Where:
+   where:
 
-* Boot stage::

-    0: SMpro firmware booting.
-    1: PMpro firmware booting.
-    2: ATF BL1 firmware booting.
-    3: DDR initialization.

+     * 8: UEFI firmware booting.

-* Boot status::
+  * ``<boot status>`` can be:

-    2: Complete without error.
-    3: Failure.

-* boot progress: 32 bits boot progress code
+  * ``<boot progress>``: 32-bit boot progress code
 
-The sysfs ``boot_progress`` only reports the boot state when the host is booting.
-If the host is already booted, it returns latest state.
+  The sysfs file  only reports the boot state when the host is booting. If
+  the host is already booted, it returns the latest state.
 
-Example::
+  Example::
 
     #cat boot_progress
     0102808454A8
 
-2) SoC Power Limit
+2) SoC power limit
 
-SMpro misc driver creates the sysfs file ``soc_power_limit`` to get/set the SoC Power Limit.
+   The driver creates ``soc_power_limit`` sysfs file to get/set the SoC
+   power limit.
 
-Reading this sysfs return the current setting of SoC Power Limit (W) in decimal string.
-Writing the desired value in decimal string to set the SoC Power Limit in Watt (W).
-The range of SoC Power Limit is 90-500(W) and will be ignored if out of range.
+   Reading the file returns the current limit. Write the desired value in
+   decimal to set the limit (in watts).  The valid limit range is 90-500 W.
+   If the value is out of range, it will be ignored.
 
-Example::
+   Example::
 
-    #cat soc_power_limit
-    90
-    #echo 95 > soc_power_limit
-    #cat soc_power_limit
-    95
+     #cat soc_power_limit
+     90
+     #echo 95 > soc_power_limit

+     95
