iio: proximity: vl53l0x-i2c: claim direct mode for raw readsgrafted
vl53l0x_read_raw() starts a single-shot ranging measurement and reads back the result. Once the triggered buffer is enabled the sensor runs in continuous mode and its data-ready interrupt is routed to the trigger, so a concurrent in_distance_raw read disturbs the streaming setup and never gets its completion, returning -ETIMEDOUT. The original submission claimed direct mode here, but it was dropped during review because the driver had no buffer support at the time [1]. Continuous (buffered) mode was later added without restoring the claim [2], reintroducing the conflict. Reject direct reads while buffered capture is active by claiming direct mode around the measurement, as the vl53l1x sibling already does.

+===========================================
+Atomic Operation Control (ATOMCTL) Register
+===========================================
+
+We Have Atomic Operation Control (ATOMCTL) Register.
+This register determines the effect of using a S32C1I instruction
+with various combinations of:
+
+ 1. With and without an Coherent Cache Controller which
+ can do Atomic Transactions to the memory internally.
+
+ 2. With and without An Intelligent Memory Controller which
+ can do Atomic Transactions itself.
+
+The Core comes up with a default value of for the three types of cache ops::
+
+ 0x28: (WB: Internal, WT: Internal, BY:Exception)
+
+On the FPGA Cards we typically simulate an Intelligent Memory controller
+which can implement RCW transactions. For FPGA cards with an External
+Memory controller we let it to the atomic operations internally while
+doing a Cached (WB) transaction and use the Memory RCW for un-cached
+operations.
+
+For systems without an coherent cache controller, non-MX, we always
+use the memory controllers RCW, though non-MX controllers likely
+support the Internal Operation.
+
+CUSTOMER-WARNING:
+ Virtually all customers buy their memory controllers from vendors that
+ don't support atomic RCW memory transactions and will likely want to
+ configure this register to not use RCW.
+
+Developers might find using RCW in Bypass mode convenient when testing
+with the cache being bypassed; for example studying cache alias problems.
