[PATCH 0/3] iio: proximity: Add Benewake TF-Luna LiDAR driver

[Vidhu Sarwal via B4 Relay <devnull+vidhu.linux.gmail.com@kernel.org>]

This series adds support for the Benewake TF-Luna, a single point ToF
 LiDAR distance sensor with a range of 0.2 m to 8 m. The
sensor uses either UART or I2C, selected by a strap pin at power-up.
This series covers the I2C interface only.

Patch 1 adds the vendor prefix, patch 2 adds the binding and patch 3 adds the
driver, which reports distance using an IIO_DISTANCE channel.

The driver keeps the sensor in trigger mode and starts a measurement
per read. The manual warns that reads in continuous mode can race with
the sensor updating its result registers unless they are synchronised
to the data ready output, which the driver does not use yet.

Two issues I faced with the hardware that the manual does not mention:
- The sensor silently drops a register write that arrives right after
  another one, so probe reads the mode back after setting it.
- The boot time is not documented. I was able to measure 350ms after a
  reboot before the registers read back correctly, so probe waits
  500 ms after enabling the supply, keeping some buffer.

Later on I plan to add buffered caputure using data ready interrupt and 
runtime PM in a follow up series. 

This was tested on hardware using Raspberry Pi 4 and with firmware v3.6.0
built out of tree on the 6.18 RPi kernel both via new_device as well as a 
DT Overlay.
