Typo (and it should be all uppercase; and perhaps "Display" is not
needed given LCD is there; but see also comments on the title below).

Also missing the "S:" entry.

Would it be useful/worth for users to put "Grove series" and/or "I2C"
in the tristate title? (i.e. like the help section explains and also
like the MODULE_DESCRIPTION says).

Unconventional (AFAIK) empty line.

Thanks for the driver!
