Subject: [PATCH 0/4] auxdisplay: Add support for TM1637 7-segment display driver

This series adds a driver for the Titan Micro TM1637 7-segment display
controller.

The TM1637 uses a custom two-wire protocol (CLK/DIO) that resembles I2C
but lacks a slave address, requiring a bit-banging implementation.

The driver exposes standard sysfs attributes for 'message' (text) and
'brightness'. It handles standard ASCII-to-7-segment mapping using the
kernel's map_to_7segment utility.

Note on implementation:
This driver is implemented as a standalone platform driver rather than
using the auxiliary display 'linedisp' framework. The TM1637 protocol
requires manual handling of the decimal point (merging it with the
previous digit), which is difficult to achieve cleanly with the current
linedisp character buffer abstraction.
