Add a new initial driver for Maxim MAX6958/6959 chips.
While developing that driver I realised that there is a lot
of duplication between ht16k33 and a new one. Hence set of
cleanups and refactorings.
Note, the new driver has minimum support of the hardware and
I have plans to cover more features in the future.
In v2:
- updated DT bindings to follow specifications and requirements (Krzysztof)
- unified return code variable (err everywhere)
- left patches 10 and 13 untouched, we may amend later on (Robin)
Andy Shevchenko (15):
auxdisplay: img-ascii-lcd: Make container_of() no-op for struct
linedisp
auxdisplay: linedisp: Free allocated resources in ->release()
auxdisplay: linedisp: Use unique number for id
auxdisplay: linedisp: Unshadow error codes in ->store()
auxdisplay: linedisp: Add missing header(s)
auxdisplay: linedisp: Move exported symbols to a namespace
auxdisplay: linedisp: Group line display drivers together
auxdisplay: linedisp: Provide struct linedisp_ops for future extension
auxdisplay: linedisp: Add support for overriding character mapping
auxdisplay: linedisp: Provide a small buffer in the struct linedisp
auxdisplay: ht16k33: Move ht16k33_linedisp_ops down
auxdisplay: ht16k33: Switch to use line display character mapping
auxdisplay: ht16k33: Use buffer from struct linedisp
dt-bindings: auxdisplay: Add Maxim MAX6958/6959
auxdisplay: Add driver for MAX695x 7-segment LED controllers
