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.

Introduction +=============== + +The generic cpu cooling(freq clipping) provides registration/unregistration APIs +to the caller.

Power models +=============== + +The power API registration functions provide a simple power model for +CPUs. The current power is calculated as dynamic power (static power isn't +supported currently). This power model requires that the operating-points of +the CPUs are registered using the kernel's opp library and the +`cpufreq_frequency_table` is assigned to the `struct device` of the +cpu. If you are using CONFIG_CPUFREQ_DT then the +`cpufreq_frequency_table` should already be assigned to the cpu +device. + +The dynamic power consumption of a processor depends on many factors. +For a given processor implementation the primary factors are: + +- The time the processor spends running, consuming dynamic power, as + compared to the time in idle states where dynamic consumption is + negligible. Herein we refer to this as 'utilisation'. +- The voltage and frequency levels as a result of DVFS. The DVFS + level is a dominant factor governing power consumption. +- In running time the 'execution' behaviour (instruction types, memory + access patterns and so forth) causes, in most cases, a second order + variation. In pathological cases this variation can be significant, + but typically it is of a much lesser impact than the factors above. + +A high level dynamic power consumption model may then be represented as:: + + Pdyn = f(run) * Voltage^2 * Frequency * Utilisation + +f(run) here represents the described execution behaviour and its +result has a units of Watts/Hz/Volt^2 (this often expressed in +mW/MHz/uVolt^2) + +The detailed behaviour for f(run) could be modelled on-line. However, +in practice, such an on-line model has dependencies on a number of +implementation specific processor support and characterisation +factors. Therefore, in initial implementation that contribution is +represented as a constant coefficient. This is a simplification +consistent with the relative contribution to overall power variation. + +In this simplified representation our model becomes:: + + Pdyn = Capacitance * Voltage^2 * Frequency * Utilisation + +Where `capacitance` is a constant that represents an indicative +running time dynamic power coefficient in fundamental units of +mW/MHz/uVolt^2. Typical values for mobile CPUs might lie in range +from 100 to 500. For reference, the approximate values for the SoC in +ARM's Juno Development Platform are 530 for the Cortex-A57 cluster and +140 for the Cortex-A53 cluster. |
