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.

+==============================
+Linux I2C slave EEPROM backend
+==============================
+
+by Wolfram Sang <wsa@sang-engineering.com> in 2014-20
+
+This backend simulates an EEPROM on the connected I2C bus. Its memory contents
+can be accessed from userspace via this file located in sysfs::
+
+ /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<device-directory>/slave-eeprom
+
+The following types are available: 24c02, 24c32, 24c64, and 24c512. Read-only
+variants are also supported. The name needed for instantiating has the form
+'slave-<type>[ro]'. Examples follow:
+
+24c02, read/write, address 0x64:
+ # echo slave-24c02 0x1064 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
+
+24c512, read-only, address 0x42:
+ # echo slave-24c512ro 0x1042 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
+
+You can also preload data during boot if a device-property named
+'firmware-name' contains a valid filename (DT or ACPI only).
+
+As of 2015, Linux doesn't support poll on binary sysfs files, so there is no
+notification when another master changed the content.
