Hi!

This patch series implements the LED controllers found in some RTD1295 based
TV set-top boxes.

Ever since I've had mainline Linux kernels booting on my Zidoo X9S TV box,
it's been bugging me that it kept displaying "boot" on its front display.
A hot lead was a TM1628 chip on the front display's daughterboard, which
English and Chinese datasheets were available for. The biggest
hurdle

Fun :-).

It goes on to add a "text" attribute to the driver that enables DT-configured
seven-segment displays; I was expecting to find precedence in auxdisplay
subsystem but came up empty. So my driver currently integrates its own
generic (but incomplete) character-to-8-segments mapping, as well as in a
second step a combined-characters-to-8-segments mapping, which then gets
mapped to the chipset's available output lines. Doing this as sysfs
device

I did not investigate this in great detail; but if it is displaying
characters, auxdisplay is probably right subsystem to handle that. I
guess LEDs can still take the low-level parts...

Oh, and common dimming for many LEDs is seen on other hardware, too
(Turris routers). Not sure how to handle that, either :-(.

Best regards,
									Pavel
