Seems like same/similar comments as per I2C glue driver are applicable here.
Please, address accordingly.

Additional comments below.

If you do something like

		byte = col / 2;
		... = col % 2;

it may be optimised to a single assembly instruction on some architectures
by a compiler (and yes, I saw it in real life that `idiv` on x86 has been
chosen over other approaches by GCC).

Seems unneeded

> +		tm16xx_set_key(display, row, col, value);

		tm16xx_set_key(display, row, col, codes[byte] & BIT(bit));

Do we really need !!() ?
