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.

These services +include locking for common registers, clock control and resource +management. + +The core registers drivers for both PCI and generic bus based +chips via the platform device and driver system. + +On detection of a device, the core initialises the chip (which may +be specified by the platform data) and then exports the selected +peripheral set as platform devices for the specific drivers. + +The core re-uses the platform device system as the platform device +system provides enough features to support the drivers without the +need to create a new bus-type and the associated code to go with it. + + +Resources +--------- + +Each peripheral has a view of the device which is implicitly narrowed to +the specific set of resources that peripheral requires in order to +function correctly. + +The centralised memory allocation allows the driver to ensure that the +maximum possible resource allocation can be made to the video subsystem +as this is by-far the most resource-sensitive of the on-chip functions. + +The primary issue with memory allocation is that of moving the video +buffers once a display mode is chosen. Indeed when a video mode change +occurs the memory footprint of the video subsystem changes. + +Since video memory is difficult to move without changing the display +(unless sufficient contiguous memory can be provided for the old and new +modes simultaneously) the video driver fully utilises the memory area +given to it by aligning fb0 to the start of the area and fb1 to the end +of it. Any memory left over in the middle is used for the acceleration +functions, which are transient and thus their location is less critical +as it can be moved. + + +Configuration +------------- + +The platform device driver uses a set of platform data to pass +configurations through to the core and the subsidiary drivers +so that there can be support for more than one system carrying +an SM501 built into a single kernel image. + +The PCI driver assumes that the PCI card behaves as per the Silicon +Motion reference design. + +There is an errata (AB-5) affecting the selection of the +of the M1XCLK and M1CLK frequencies. These two clocks +must be sourced from the same PLL, although they can then +be divided down individually. If this is not set, then SM501 may +lock and hang the whole system. The driver will refuse to +attach if the PLL selection is different. |
