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.

4. USERSPACE PROGRAMMING
------------------------
The cfag12864bfb describes a framebuffer device (/dev/fbX).
It has a size of 1024 bytes = 1 Kbyte.
Each bit represents one pixel. If the bit is high, the pixel will
turn on. If the pixel is low, the pixel will turn off.
You can use the framebuffer as a file: fopen, fwrite, fclose...
Although the LCD won't get updated until the next refresh time arrives.
Also, you can mmap the framebuffer: open & mmap, munmap & close...
which is the best option for most uses.
Check Documentation/auxdisplay/cfag12864b-example.c
for a real working userspace complete program with usage examples.
