This patch series adds a set of drivers for operating the Sense HAT
peripheral device. This board is an add on for the Raspberry Pi that is
designed to connect using the GPIO connector and communicates via I2C.
It features:
- a joystick
- an 8x8 RGB LED matrix display
- a whole bunch of environmental sensors with their own drivers
(those are already in upstream Linux)
This is a refactor of the work of Serge Schneider, the author of a
version of this driver that is currently in the Raspberry Pi downstream
kernel. We modified his code to make it suitable for upstream Linux.
A couple of tests are available for the driver in the test folder in
this repo: https://github.com/underground-software/sensehat.git
- sensehat_joystick_test logs the input events from the
joystick to the console
- sensehat_display_test displays various solid colors on
the LED panel.
- full_sensehat_test displays a single lit cell that can be
moved with the joystick. Pressing the joystick ends the
program.

Changes since v6:
- we store the regmap for the sensehat inside the child structs
so that we don't need to look it up every time in the functions
that want to use it. Thanks to Nicolás Sáenz for the suggestion.
- Changed userspace layout of the display driver to rgb565 triples
and removed the gamma table lookup and the associated ioctl. If
the user wants to recreate linear brightness scaling, they can
use a lookup table on their end. Doing this also removes a lot
of error checking and general code complexity, so I think removing
this feature is actually for the better.
- Replaced if statement with call to `min_t` function in display
read and write functions.
- Replaced the custom llseek implementation with a call to
`fixed_size_llseek`. Thanks to Miguel Ojeda for all of these
great suggestions.
- Fixed issues with the yaml device tree bindings we missed last
time due to not having yamllint installed. Thanks for Rob Herring
(well his bot on his behalf :^)) for this suggestion.
