Add a new initial driver for Maxim MAX6958/6959 chips.
While developing that driver I realised that there is a lot
of duplication between ht16k33 and a new one. Hence set of
cleanups and refactorings.

Note, the new driver has minimum support of the hardware and
I have plans to cover more features in the future.

    linedisp
  auxdisplay: linedisp: Free allocated resources in ->release()
  auxdisplay: linedisp: Use unique number for id

  auxdisplay: linedisp: Add missing header(s)
