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.

+In-kernel API for FPGA Programming
+==================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The in-kernel API for FPGA programming is a combination of APIs from
+FPGA manager, bridge, and regions. The actual function used to
+trigger FPGA programming is fpga_region_program_fpga().
+
+fpga_region_program_fpga() uses functionality supplied by
+the FPGA manager and bridges. It will:
+
+ * lock the region's mutex
+ * lock the mutex of the region's FPGA manager
+ * build a list of FPGA bridges if a method has been specified to do so
+ * disable the bridges
+ * program the FPGA using info passed in :c:expr:`fpga_region->info`.
+ * re-enable the bridges
+ * release the locks
+
+The struct fpga_image_info specifies what FPGA image to program. It is
+allocated/freed by fpga_image_info_alloc() and freed with
+fpga_image_info_free()
+
+How to program an FPGA using a region
+-------------------------------------
+
+When the FPGA region driver probed, it was given a pointer to an FPGA manager
+driver so it knows which manager to use. The region also either has a list of
+bridges to control during programming or it has a pointer to a function that
+will generate that list. Here's some sample code of what to do next::
+
+ #include <linux/fpga/fpga-mgr.h>
+ #include <linux/fpga/fpga-region.h>
+
+ struct fpga_image_info *info;
+ int ret;
+
+ /*
+ * First, alloc the struct with information about the FPGA image to
+ * program.
+ */
+ info = fpga_image_info_alloc(dev);
+ if (!info)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+
+ /* Set flags as needed, such as: */
+ info->flags = FPGA_MGR_PARTIAL_RECONFIG;
+
+ /*
+ * Indicate where the FPGA image is. This is pseudo-code; you're
+ * going to use one of these three.
+ */
+ if (image is in a scatter gather table) {
+
+ info->sgt = [your scatter gather table]
+
+ } else if (image is in a buffer) {
+
+ info->buf = [your image buffer]
+ info->count = [image buffer size]
+
+ } else if (image is in a firmware file) {
+
+ info->firmware_name = devm_kstrdup(dev, firmware_name,
+ GFP_KERNEL);
+
+ }
+
+ /* Add info to region and do the programming */
+ region->info = info;
+ ret = fpga_region_program_fpga(region);
+
+ /* Deallocate the image info if you're done with it */
+ region->info = NULL;
+ fpga_image_info_free(info);
+
+ if (ret)
+ return ret;
+
+ /* Now enumerate whatever hardware has appeared in the FPGA. */
