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.

+Python unittest
+===============
+
+Checking consistency of python modules can be complex. Sometimes, it is
+useful to define a set of unit tests to help checking them.
+
+While the actual test implementation is usecase dependent, Python already
+provides a standard way to add unit tests by using ``import unittest``.
+
+Using such class, requires setting up a test suite. Also, the default format
+is a little bit awkward. To improve it and provide a more uniform way to
+report errors, some unittest classes and functions are defined.
