Some of lower-case starting cases are not complete sentences such as:

/*
 * the ratio of compute unit power accumulator sample period to the
 * PTSC period
 */

/* maximum accumulated power of a compute unit */

So can I check again and capitalize comment if it is complete
sentence?

Looks better.

OK, that should be "if (!pmu)", thanks to check so carefully. I tested
to make the core offline and check the event context migration with
power_cpu_exit, but might miss this scenario. I will do more testing
on runtime case. Will fix it on next version.
