+Console display driver for Hitachi HD44780 based displays and clones
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "hit,hd44780"
+- rs-gpios : GPIO reference for the register select line of the display
+- rw-gpios : GPIO reference for the r/w line of the display
+- e-gpios : GPIO reference for the enable line of the display
+- bl-gpios : GPIO reference for the backlight of the display
+- data-gpios : GPIO reference for the data lines of the display. Currently
+ only the 4 bit mode is supported by the driver. So you have
+ to connect the 4 data lines to DB4 - DB7 of the display.
+- charset-rom : Either "a00" or "a02". The datasheet mentions these two
+ charset roms to be available. Supply the one you have here.
+
+Example:
+
+hd44780con: hd44780@27 {
+ compatible = "hit,hd44780";
+ rs-gpios = <&gpiom27 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+ rw-gpios = <&gpiom27 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+ e-gpios = <&gpiom27 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+ bl-gpios = <&gpiom27 3 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+ data-gpios = <&gpiom27 4 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>,
+ <&gpiom27 5 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>,
+ <&gpiom27 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>,
+ <&gpiom27 7 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+ charset-rom = "a00";
+};
+
+
+These hd44780 displays often come with some sort of serial interface. The
+cheap ones often only have a pcf8574 gpio expander from nxp on it. You
+connect to your controller via i2c and gpio expander drives the raw lines
+of your display. Such a display would need a devicetree entry for the
+pcf8574 that looks like this:
+
+gpiom27: gpio27@27 {
+ reg = <0x27>;
+ compatible = "nxp,pcf8574";
+ gpio-controller;
+ #gpio-cells = <2>;

+ This is a driver that lets you use the cheap lcd 20x4 character
+ display with i2c serial interface using a pcf8574at chip as a
+ console output device. The display is a simple single color

+MODULE_ALIAS("platform:hd44780con");
This adds a console driver for hd44780 based character lcd displays and clones. The driver currently supports 20x4 character displays with character ROMs A00 and A02. The hardware wirings to the display have to be supplied to the kernel in the devicetree. The binding doc has the necessary information. There are also tons of these cheap displays sold with a serial interface. Many of them use a simple pcf8574 gpio expanders. An example for using that kind of display is also in the binding doc.
