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.

+BeOS filesystem for Linux

+He has been working on the code since Aug 13, 2001. See the changelog for
+details.

+
+This filesystem doesn't have a maintainer.
+
+What is this Driver?
+====================
+This module implements the native filesystem of BeOS http://www.beincorporated.com/
+for the linux 2.4.1 and later kernels. Currently it is a read-only
+implementation.
+
+Which is it, BFS or BEFS?
+=========================
+Be, Inc said, "BeOS Filesystem is officially called BFS, not BeFS".
+But Unixware Boot Filesystem is called bfs, too. And they are already in
+the kernel. Because of this naming conflict, on Linux the BeOS
+filesystem is called befs.
+
+How to Install
+==============
+step 1. Install the BeFS patch into the source code tree of linux.
+
+Apply the patchfile to your kernel source tree.
+Assuming that your kernel source is in /foo/bar/linux and the patchfile
+is called patch-befs-xxx, you would do the following:
+
+ cd /foo/bar/linux
+ patch -p1 < /path/to/patch-befs-xxx
+
+if the patching step fails (i.e. there are rejected hunks), you can try to
+figure it out yourself (it shouldn't be hard), or mail the maintainer
+(Will Dyson <will_dyson@pobox.com>) for help.
+
+step 2. Configuration & make kernel
+
+The linux kernel has many compile-time options. Most of them are beyond the
+scope of this document. I suggest the Kernel-HOWTO document as a good general
+reference on this topic. http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Kernel-HOWTO-4.html
+
+However, to use the BeFS module, you must enable it at configure time::
+
+ cd /foo/bar/linux
+ make menuconfig (or xconfig)
+
+The BeFS module is not a standard part of the linux kernel, so you must first
+enable support for experimental code under the "Code maturity level" menu.
+
+Then, under the "Filesystems" menu will be an option called "BeFS
+filesystem (experimental)", or something like that. Enable that option
+(it is fine to make it a module).
+
+Save your kernel configuration and then build your kernel.
+
+step 3. Install
+
+See the kernel howto <http://www.linux.com/howto/Kernel-HOWTO.html> for
+instructions on this critical step.
+
+Using BFS
+=========
+To use the BeOS filesystem, use filesystem type 'befs'.
+
+ex::
+
+ mount -t befs /dev/fd0 /beos
+
+Mount Options
+=============
+
+============= ===========================================================
+uid=nnn All files in the partition will be owned by user id nnn.
+gid=nnn All files in the partition will be in group nnn.
+iocharset=xxx Use xxx as the name of the NLS translation table.
+debug The driver will output debugging information to the syslog.
