Add forced mode support in sensors BMP28x, BME28x, BMP3xx and BMP58x. Sensors BMP18x and BMP085 are old and do not support this feature so their operation is not affected at all. Essentially, up to now, the rest of the sensors were used in normal mode all the time. This means that they are continuously doing measurements even though these measurements are not used. Even though the sensor does provide PM support, to cover all the possible use cases, the sensor needs to go into sleep mode and wake up whenever necessary. The idea is that the sensor is by default in sleep mode, wakes up in forced mode when a oneshot capture is requested, or in normal mode when the buffer is enabled. The difference lays in the fact that in forced mode, the sensor does only one conversion and goes back to sleep while in normal mode, the sensor does continuous measurements with the frequency that was set in the ODR registers. The bmpX_chip_config() functions which are responsible for applying the requested configuration to the sensor, are modified accordingly in order to set the sensor by default in sleep mode. DEEP STANDBY, Low Power NORMAL and CONTINUOUS modes, supported only by the BMP58x version, are not added.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
