Subject: [PATCH v8 00/21] auxdisplay: ht16k33: Add character display support
Hi Miguel et al,
The Holtek HT16K33 LED controller is not only used for driving
dot-matrix displays, but also for driving segment displays.
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 9-17 contain a bug fixes, cleanups and improvements for the
HT16K33 driver, to prepare for segment display support,
- Patch 18 adds support for 7/14-segment displays to the HT16K33
driver,
- Patch 19 updates the HT16K33 DT bindings to document an LED subnode,
- Patch 20 adds segment display LED support to the HT16K33 driver,
to make use of hardware blinking, and to expose display color,
- Patch 21 converts the HT16K33 driver to use device properties.
Changes compared to v7[1]:
- Fix array upper bound check in map_to_seg14(),
- Add Reviewed-by, Acked-by.
Changes compared to v6[2]:
- Add Acked-by, Reviewed-by,
- New patch "auxdisplay: ht16k33: Fix frame buffer device blanking",
- Add linux,default-trigger to example,
- Add missing call to ht16k33_brightness_set() in
ht16k33_fbdev_probe(), to make sure brightness and blinking are set
to a sane state,
- Integrate "auxdisplay: ht16k33: Make use of device properties" into
this series.
Changes compared to v5[3]:
- Add Reviewed-by,
- Reorder operations in ht16k33_led_probe() to ease future conversion
to device properties.
Changes compared to v4[4]:
- Add Reviewed-by,
- Add missing select NEW_LEDS.
Changes compared to v3[5]:
- Combine compatible values for 7/14 segment displays into an enum,
- Add Reviewed-by,
- Add missing select LEDS_CLASS.
Changes compared to v2[6]:
- Drop color property from display node,
- Use compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj() instead of cooking our
own helper on top of kernfs_create_link(),
- Use "err" instead of "error" to be consistent with existing driver
naming style,
- Pass "dev" instead of "client" to ht16k33_fbdev_probe() and
ht16k33_seg_probe(),
- Drop local variable "node",
- Remove unneeded inclusion of <linux/leds.h> and <linux/of_device.h>,
- Document LED subnode,
- Remove unneeded C++ comment,
- Make the creation of the LED device dependent on the presence of the
"led" subnode in DT, so it can be used in dot-matrix mode too.
- Use led_init_data() and devm_led_classdev_register_ext() to retrieve
all LED properties from DT, instead of manual LED name construction
based on just the "color" property.
Changes compared to v1[7]:
- 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, connected to an OrangeCrab ECP5 FPGA board
running a 64 MHz VexRiscv RISC-V softcore.
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 applying!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
