[PATCH v2 00/33] Make charlcd device independent

[poeschel]

From: Lars Poeschel <poeschel@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This tries to make charlcd device independent. At the moment hd44780
device specific code is contained deep in charlcd. This moves this out
into a hd44780_common module, where the two hd44780 drivers we have at
the moment (hd44780 and panel) can use this from. The goal is that at
the end other drivers can use the charlcd interface.
I add one such driver at the end with the last patch.
I submitted this already some time ago [1], where the wish was so split
this into smaller chunks what I try to do with this new patchset.
Most of the patches pick one specific function in charlcd and move the
device specific code into hd44780_common.
