Hi Song,

My first comment was going to be don't use wild cards in a part name
in a driver, but a quick sanity check confirmed that ST were actually
crazy enough to end a part number with an X.  Ah well ;)

Otherwise a few minor things, mostly around naming.  There is some
confusion around endian stuff as well

Looks pretty good for a first go at upstreaming a driver!

Are you planning on adding more features?  Seems like a capable little device
and would be good to have fuller support in the long term if you have time
to look at it!

A quick google suggests this only has an i2c interface.  Hence I'd argue
there is no point in having -i2c in the driver name.  Lots of other
i2c only parts don't on the basis it doesn't add anything.  In fact
the only time we tend to do this is if we have a driver that splits
into a shared core and two or more bus specific drivers.

Looks like the above would fit on one line.  Please do a quick check
through the driver for other cases of this.

This worries me as a conversion.  The shift and addition is
unwinding the endianness already. You then do it again with le16_to_cpu

As it's aligned you could have done
*val = le16_to_cpu(*(le16 *)(&buffer[10]));  That's obviously
a bit ugly though, mainly because we are handling the buffer as
a u8.  Is there a reason to not directly handle it as an le16 array?

I'm having trouble finding the relevant section of the manual to actually
figure out what is in the first 10 bytes!

This is a time of flight sensor?  As such I would kind of assume it is possible
to get to a real world distance?  Adding scale and offset to do this can
of course be a follow up patch,  but it would be good to have!

This can't actually happen as there are no other channel types
registered.   The if check is really a form of documentation rather
than real protection.   As such I'd drop the dev_err print
out as unnecessary noise.  A simple return -EINVAL is more than
enough here.

If return is less than 0 you should be passing that on to userspace
(so add a return ret in this if block.)

Compatible shouldn't need the -i2c as it will only check for
i2c devices if they are on an i2c bus anyway.
