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.

And two functions are +currently implemented using this capability. + +Log reducer +----------- + +ACPICA subsystem provides debugging outputs when CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is +enabled. The debugging messages which are deployed via +ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() macro can be reduced at 2 levels - per-component +level (known as debug layer, configured via +/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer) and per-type level (known as +debug level, configured via /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level). + +But when the particular layer/level is applied to the control method +evaluations, the quantity of the debugging outputs may still be too +large to be put into the kernel log buffer. The idea thus is worked out +to only enable the particular debug layer/level (normally more detailed) +logs when the control method evaluation is started, and disable the +detailed logging when the control method evaluation is stopped. + +The following command examples illustrate the usage of the "log reducer" +functionality: + +a. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when control methods + are being evaluated:: + + # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters + # echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer + # echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level + # echo "enable" > trace_state + +b. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when the specified + control method is being evaluated:: + + # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters + # echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer + # echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level + # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name + # echo "method" > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state + +c.
