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.

+Unauthenticated encryption
+==========================
+
+These APIs provide support for unauthenticated encryption and decryption,
+including bare stream ciphers and other length-preserving algorithms such as
+block ciphers in XTS mode. The legitimate use cases for these algorithms are:
+
+- Support for legacy protocols that really should have chosen an authenticated
+ mode (or even another primitive entirely) but didn't.
+
+- Internal components of authenticated modes. For example, AES-CTR is used by
+ AES-GCM and AES-CCM internally.
+
+- Storage encryption that cannot accommodate ciphertext expansion. Usually
+ AES-XTS is used for this.
+
+- Stream ciphers for key derivation and random number generation.
+
+Besides the above, these shouldn't be used.
