Paul Burton 0cad855fbd auxdisplay: img-ascii-lcd: driver for simple ASCII LCD displays
Add a driver for simple ASCII LCD displays found on the MIPS Boston,
Malta & SEAD3 development boards. The Boston display is an independent
memory mapped device with a simple memory mapped 8 byte register space
containing the 8 ASCII characters to display. The Malta display is
exposed as part of the Malta board registers, and provides 8 registers
each of which corresponds to one of the ASCII characters to display. The
SEAD3 display is slightly more complex, exposing an interface to an
S6A0069 LCD controller via registers provided by the boards CPLD.
However although the displays differ in their register interface, we
require similar functionality on each board so abstracting away the
differences within a single driver allows us to share a significant
amount of code & ensure consistent behaviour.

The driver displays the Linux kernel version as the default message, but
allows the message to be changed via a character device. Messages longer
then the number of characters that the display can show will scroll.

This provides different behaviour to the existing LCD display code for
the MIPS Malta or MIPS SEAD3 platforms in the following ways:

  - The default string to display is not "LINUX ON MALTA" or "LINUX ON
    SEAD3" but "Linux" followed by the version number of the kernel
    (UTS_RELEASE).

  - Since that string tends to be significantly longer it scrolls twice
    as fast, moving every 500ms rather than every 1s.

  - The LCD won't be updated until the driver is probed, so it doesn't
    provide the early "LINUX" string.

Miguel Ojeda Sandonis 70e840499a [PATCH] drivers: add LCD support
Add support for auxiliary displays, the ks0108 LCD controller, the
cfag12864b LCD and adds a framebuffer device: cfag12864bfb.

- Add a "auxdisplay/" folder in "drivers/" for auxiliary display
  drivers.

- Add support for the ks0108 LCD Controller as a device driver.  (uses
  parport interface)

- Add support for the cfag12864b LCD as a device driver.  (uses ks0108
  LCD Controller driver)

- Add a framebuffer device called cfag12864bfb.  (uses cfag12864b LCD
  driver)

- Add the usual Documentation, includes, Makefiles, Kconfigs,
  MAINTAINERS, CREDITS...

- Miguel Ojeda will maintain all the stuff above.
