The current auxdisplay driver is limited to dot-matrix displays, which are exposed as a frame buffer device. This patch series extends the driver to 4-digit 7-segment and quad 14-segment alphanumeric displays, allowing the user to display and scroll text messages. List of patches: - Patch 1 provides font data for displaying ASCII characters on 14-segment displays, - Patch 2 updates the HT16K33 DT bindings for segment displays, - Patches 3-5 contain a bug fix and small improvements for the Imagination Technologies ASCII LCD Display driver, - Patch 6 extracts the character line display core support from the Imagination Technologies ASCII LCD Display driver, for reuse, - Patches 7-8 contain cleanups and improvements for the character line display core driver, - Patches 9-16 contain a bug fix, cleanups and improvements for the HT16K33 driver, to prepare for segment display support, - Patch 17 adds support for 7/14-segment displays to the HT16K33 driver, - Patch 18 adds segment display LED support to the HT16K33 driver, to make use of hardware blinking, and to expose display color. Changes compared to v1[1]: - Fix type of color to uint32, - "refresh-rate-hz" is still required for dot-matrix displays. - Move "select LINEDISP" for HT16K33 symbol to correct patch, - Add backwards compatibility "message" symlink to img-ascii-lcd, - Connect backlight to fbdev in ht16k33 dot-matrix mode, - Set "err = -EINVAL" in switch() case that cannot happen, - Use "auxdisplay" instead of DRIVER_NAME in LED name. This series has been tested using an Adafruit 0.54" Quad Alphanumeric Red FeatherWing Display, plugged into an OrangeCrab ECP5-based FPGA board running linux-on-litex-vexriscv. 7-segment display support is based purely on schematics, and has not been tested on actual hardware. The changes to img-ascii-lcd.c are also untested, due to lack of hardware. Thanks for your comments!
