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

Description

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

1) Boot progress
-SMpro misc driver creates the sysfs files ``boot_progress``.
-The format of ``boot_progress`` file is as below::

-<boot stage><boot status><boot progress>

- 6: ATF BL31 firmware booting.
- 7: ATF BL32 firmware booting.
- 8: UEFI firmware booting.
- 9: OS booting.

+ * 2: ATF BL1 firmware booting.
+ * 3: DDR initialization.
+ * 4: DDR training report status.
+ * 5: ATF BL2 firmware booting.
+ * 6: ATF BL31 firmware booting.
+ * 7: ATF BL32 firmware booting.
+ * 8: UEFI firmware booting.
+ * 9: OS booting.
-* Boot status::
+ * ``<boot status>`` can be:
- 0: Not started.
- 1: Started.
- 2: Complete without error.
- 3: Failure.
+ * 0: Not started.
+ * 1: Started.
+ * 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::

-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
+ #cat soc_power_limit
