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 kernel project continuity
+===============================
+
+The Linux kernel development project is widely distributed, with over
+100 maintainers each working to keep changes moving through their own
+repositories. The final step, though, is a centralized one where changes
+are pulled into the mainline repository. That is normally done by Linus
+Torvalds but, as was demonstrated by the 4.19 release in 2018, there are
+others who can do that work when the need arises.
+
+Should the maintainers of that repository become unwilling or unable to
+do that work going forward (including facilitating a transition), the
+project will need to find one or more replacements without delay. The
+process by which that will be done is listed below. $ORGANIZER is the
+last Maintainer Summit organizer or the current Linux Foundation (LF)
+Technical Advisory Board (TAB) Chair as a backup.
+
+- Within 72 hours, $ORGANIZER will open a discussion with the invitees
+ of the most recently concluded Maintainers Summit. A meeting of those
+ invitees and the TAB, either online or in-person, will be set as soon
+ as possible in a way that maximizes the number of people who can
+ participate.
+
+- If there has been no Maintainers Summit in the last 15 months, the set of
+ invitees for this meeting will be determined by the TAB.
+
+- The invitees to this meeting may bring in other maintainers as needed.
+
+- This meeting, chaired by $ORGANIZER, will consider options for the
+ ongoing management of the top-level kernel repository consistent with
+ the expectation that it maximizes the long term health of the project
+ and its community.
+
+- Within two weeks, a representative of this group will communicate to the
+ broader community, using the ksummit@lists.linux.dev mailing list, what
+ the next steps will be.
+
+The Linux Foundation, as guided by the TAB, will take the steps
+necessary to support and implement this plan.
