I still think sorting the driver into the right bucket has a value.

When/if the Linux LCD support gets an upstream push they
will know where to put their stuff: here, and then common stuff
can be abstracted. With drivers floating around in misc the
situation is even worse. http://lcd-linux.sourceforge.net/
